Abstract

Introduction: Continuing education for teaching professionals prioritizes the successful performance of teachers in their relationships with educational agents and agencies. This implies the development of socio-emotional skills from initial training. This article aims to present a methodological proposal for developing these skills in students. Materials and methods: The methodology used is based on action research, through iterative phases and cycles. Results: As a result, there are favorable transformations in students' emotional and professional management. Discussion: It is important to integrate methodologies that promote reflection and emotional management in these students. Conclusions: The experience gained through this methodological proposal led to the conclusion that emotional development should not be approached as an additional content or subject. It must be organically articulated in educational processes, from curriculum design to group dynamics, including pedagogical engagement and institutional culture.
