Abstract

The research aims to identify the psychoeducational needs related to Emotional Education in university teachers of Remedios, Santa Clara. It was carried out in Remedios, in the Municipal University Center through a descriptive study, with an intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The sample was made up of 10 teachers, based on a non-probability sampling. The techniques used were the Emotional Comprehension Survey, the review of official documents and the semi-structured interview. Teachers have little knowledge regarding emotional education, they fail to be clear about its objectives and content, as well as how to implement it through teaching. They have some emotional competencies, with a greater need for preparation in interpersonal intelligence, manifested in the lack of listening skills and a dialogue attitude (interruptions, rush to conclude the other's dialogue), as well as a lack of appreciation for individual and group differences. As for the ability to wait their turn, it is a damaged element in prosocial behavior and assertiveness, there are difficulties in achieving a balance between aggressiveness and passivity. Regarding the life skills and well-being competence, the negotiation skills are more deficient, since it is difficult for them to consider the perspective of others.
