¿Me gusta lo que hago? La competencia emocional del profesor y el desarrollo cooperativo
Do I Like What I Do? Teacher’s Emotional Competence and Cooperative Development

Summary/Abstract: The Institute Cervantes (2012) has described the eight key competences that his teachers have or are expected to develop along their career. In this article we focus on the competence described as “Managing feelings and emotions in the development of work” for three reasons: first, it seems to be a clear correlation between the development of Emotional intelligence and effective performance. Secondly, as demonstrated in another Cervantes Institute’s research (2011), students give more importance to the emotional competence of teachers that the latter. Finally, emotional competence is not part of training programs for teachers of Spanish. In this paper, we propose a method of teacher professional development, Cooperative Development (Edge, 2002) as a model that can contribute to the improvement of these emotional skills.
