Emotional intelligence and motivation are considered antecedent variables in conflict. Studies show the isolated impact of emotional intelligence on conflict and motivation on conflict, but the integrative impact of emotional intelligence and the need for power on the selection of a conflict resolution style is unknown. Consequently, this study aims to fill this gap and examine how the need for power moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and the dominant conflict resolution style. Method. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted with 388 Sri Lankan university students (Mage=22). It used simple and moderated multiple regression analysis to evaluate the moderating impact and level of interaction of the need for power on the nexus between emotional intelligence and dominating styles. Results. The results show a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and dominance style. They also provide new evidence on how the need for power moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and dominance style for conflict resolution in university students. Discussion and Conclusion. The study provides new evidence about how the need for power moderates the relationship between emotional intelligence and dominating conflict resolution style in university students.

However, there is a lack of research that relates teachers’ emotion-regulation ability to managing conflict. To bridge this gap, this pilot study aimed to examine the relationships between teachers’ emotion-regulation ability and conflict management strategies used in the classroom. The sample consisted of 878 teachers (61% women) working in Portuguese schools, which completed an application of Mayer and Salovey’s emotional intelligence model and Rahim’s model of conflict management. Using the structural equation modeling, findings revealed that the teachers who tend to show a greater ability to regulate emotions use mainly integrating and compromising strategies to manage classroom conflicts more frequently than other strategies. In conclusion, it is necessary to create a curriculum in the pre...

La literatura es unánime al considerar que los enfoques de enseñanza adoptados por los profesores, en la praxis educativa, influyen en las elecciones de enfoques de enseñanza utilizados en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Este hecho justifica la importancia de asociar las habilidades de inteligencia emocional con el tipo de enfoque que el profesor utiliza en el aula. A través de una muestra de 628 maestros de escuelas primarias y secundarias, utilizando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, se demostró que la IE es una variable predictor de los tipos de enfoques de enseñanza utilizados por los profesores y que aquellos con una IE más alta optan por un enfoque más comprensivo y menos transmisivo, con resultados estadísticamente significativos. También se observa que las variables género, formación académica y tiempo de servicio tienen una preponderancia significativa en la IE de los profesores en la muestra. Se concluye que la IE es esencial en los enfoques de enseñanza utilizados por el profesor.

Research on study skills highlights academic time management as one of the crucial elements of learning strategies and sustainable education. These abilities will help achieve the fourth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, this study aimed to understand how students plan time management in school activities and its influence on study procrastination, analyzing differences between genders and the hours students spend studying. The Time Management Planning Inventory, the Study Procrastination Questionnaire, and a personal and school data sheet were used. A sample of 506 students (Mage = 13.7) from basic schools in northern Portugal was utilized. The results revealed that gender and study hours significantly influence how students plan time management for school tasks in the short and long term. These variables also showed a significant impact on the procrastination of study activities. The practical implications of this study are substantial, as they provide educators and researchers with insights into the factors influencing academic procrastination and the role of time management planning and study hours. These insights can be applied to develop effective strategies to reduce academic procrastination and promote sustainable education.

Apesar da importância das competências emocionais dos professores, as mesmas continuam a não estar incluídas na sua formação inicial. Assim, o presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar como a inteligência emocional influencia a exaustão emocional e a autoeficácia docente. Uma amostra com 674 professores (M idade = 50,34), de escolas públicas portuguesas, preencheu três escalas válidas que medem a perceção relativamente à inteligência emocional, exaustão emocional e autoeficácia. Através do uso da técnica de modelação de equações estruturais, os resultados indicaram que os professores que tendem a ter maior perceção da sua inteligência emocional apresentam menores níveis de exaustão emocional e maiores níveis de autoeficácia. Como conclusão, enfatiza-se a importância de incluir a educação emocional na formação inicial de professores, pelas implicações que a inteligência emocional apresenta no bem-estar e na atividade destes profissionais.

Different studies showed that emotional intelligence has a positive impact on teachers' work. So, the present study aimed to analyze the psychometric proprieties of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire adapted for teachers. A sample of 843 teachers from Portuguese schools (1st to 12th grades) was used. The scale was back-translated, adapt and participants completed a battery of questionnaires: The Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire for Teachers (ESCQ-T), and the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale. Statistical analysis included structural equation modeling, and results showed a good fit with the original factor structure, a robust reliability coefficient, and good psychometric validity for ESCQ-T. Also, relationships with teacher efficacy were found. So, the results suggested that it is a valid measure for assessing teachers' emotional skills and emotional competence. In conclusion, the ESCQ-T demonstrated adequate psychometric properties and can be used to assess teachers' emotional skills and emotional competence.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development presents 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that define priorities for a more sustainable world. Education is one of the main ways to create a peaceful and sustainable world for the survival and prosperity of present and future generations. The literature highlights the importance of teachers' socio-emotional skills and the promotion of socio-emotional skills in their students. The Emotional Education approach proposes a new pedagogical paradigm, in which the individual is encouraged to develop intra-and interpersonal skills, enabling them to deal creatively with their conflicts and those encountered in the environment, and increasing their self-confidence and emotional balance. These skills will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the SDG. Based on these arguments, the study and systematization of social-emotional education is urgent. In this study, a documentary analysis was carried out of the programs of study offered as part of the degrees (undergraduate and master's level) provided for the training of preschool and primary teachers in Portugal and Spain, with the aim of understanding whether these courses offer content relating to Emotional Education. Programs of study from 127 public and private higher education institutions across both countries were analyzed. The analysis revealed that in Portugal, despite an increase in interest in issues relating to emotional intelligence in schools, this interest is not yet reflected in the initial training of preschool and primary teachers (with only two universities, both private institutions, offering Emotional Education content). In Spain, there is already a considerable number of institutions (29) that offer Emotional Education, but this corresponds to only 30% of the universities listed. The results of this study indicate that there is still some distance to go to make Emotional Education an effective component of the curricula of future teachers and thus contribute to achievement of the SDGs.

These skills also play a crucial role in initial teacher education, as they are responsible for their students' cognitive, emotional and social development. The objective of the present study is to analyse the perceived impact of an emotional education programme for teachers in training. A total of 56 student teachers, from seven different master's degree programmes, completed a six-session programme. The evaluation was conducted through an experiential portfolio, which included the challenges and dynamics experienced in terms of emotional experience, the meaning of these experiences, and the difficulties and gains. The results revealed that, despite some difficulties, participation in the programme was considered by the participants as contributing to their emotional literacy, such as the ability to express and understand their own emotions and those of others, and to a growing sense of empathy and connectedness. This study highlights the importance of continuously investing in teachers' socioemotional growth and competence during their training and teaching careers.

The variables of gender, service time and academic training of teachers were also studied when they were related to personality dimensions. The NEO-Five Factors Inventory, the Rahim-II Organizational Conflict Inventory-Portuguese Version in the School Context, and a personal and professional data sheet were used as instruments, in a sample of 659 basic education teachers in Portuguese schools. Using a structural equation model, the results showed an association between all the variables under study. Neuroticism and responsibility are the best predictors of conflict management. The female gender is the one that presents the best results in all dimensions of personality. Teachers with more academic training showed less neuroticism, but were more extroverted, open to experience, agreeable, and responsible, and those with more seniority showed less neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, and agreeable. These results will constitute a mobilizing engine of more substantive pedagogical practices for the advancement of education.

El Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) es uno de los instrumentos más usados para evaluar la inteligencia emocional, pero no existen suficientes estudios en Latinoamérica que aborden sus propiedades psicométricas. Entonces, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la estructura interna (análisis factorial e invarianza de medición) de la TMMS en adolescentes peruanos, y obtener una versión breve. El estudio fue instrumental y se evaluó 492 adolescentes (52% hombres; Rangoedad = 12–17; Medad = 12.468; DTedad = 1.503) del primer al quinto grado de Educación Secundaria, procedentes de un colegio de Lima Metropolitana. Se analizaron tres modelos de medición: modelo original de tres factores, modelo bifactor, y modelo bifactor S-1. La invarianza de medición se analizó con un análisis factorial de grupo múltiple. El modelo de tres factores obtuvo mejor respaldo psicométrico y fue invariante según sexo y edad. Posteriormente, se obtuvo una versión breve de la TMMS de 12 ítems (TMMS-12) considerando diversos criterios (carga factorial y simplicidad factorial, entre otros), la cual tuvo evidencia psicométrica favorable: equivalencia empírica con la TMMS, estructura interna bien definida, y coeficientes de fiabilidad adecuados. Se concluye que la TMMS-12 presenta evidencia psicométrica favorable.

Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Utrech Work Engagement Scale – 9S (UWES-9S) en adolescentes peruanos: estructura interna, invarianza de medición, asociación con la autoeficacia académica, confiabilidad y normas. Fueron evaluados 868 adolescentes escolares (51.728% mujeres; Medad = 14.263; DEedad = 1.430) procedentes de seis colegios de la Provincia Constitucional del Callao (costa central del Perú). Además de la UWES-9S se utilizó la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica para Situaciones Académicas como medida de autoeficacia. Los resultados indican que la UWES-9S es unidimensional e invariante entre hombres y mujeres, aunque se eliminaron tres ítems derivando en una nueva versión: UWES-6S. Asimismo, la asociación con la medida de autoeficacia académica fue moderada (r > .50) y se obtuvo normas para hombres y mujeres por separado. Los indicadores de confiabilidad fueron satisfactorios tanto para las puntuaciones (coeficiente alfa y correlación inter-ítem promedio) como para el constructo (coeficiente omega > .80). Se concluye que la UWES-6S cuenta con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para su aplicación en adolescentes peruanos.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development presents 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that define priorities for a more sustainable world. Education is one of the main ways to create a peaceful and sustainable world for the survival and prosperity of present and future generations. The literature highlights the importance of teachers' socio-emotional skills and the promotion of socio-emotional skills in their students. The Emotional Education approach proposes a new pedagogical paradigm, in which the individual is encouraged to develop intra-and interpersonal skills, enabling them to deal creatively with their conflicts and those encountered in the environment, and increasing their self-confidence and emotional balance. These skills will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the SDG. Based on these arguments, the study and systematization of social-emotional education is urgent. In this study, a documentary analysis was carried out of the programs of study offered as part of the degrees (undergraduate and master's level) provided for the training of preschool and primary teachers in Portugal and Spain, with the aim of understanding whether these courses offer content relating to Emotional Education. Programs of study from 127 public and private higher education institutions across both countries were analyzed. The analysis revealed that in Portugal, despite an increase in interest in issues relating to emotional intelligence in schools, this interest is not yet reflected in the initial training of preschool and primary teachers (with only two universities, both private institutions, offering Emotional Education content). In Spain, there is already a considerable number of institutions (29) that offer Emotional Education, but this corresponds to only 30% of the universities listed. The results of this study indicate that there is still some distance to go to make Emotional Education an effective component of the curricula of future teachers and thus contribute to achievement of the SDGs.

These skills also play a crucial role in initial teacher education, as they are responsible for their students' cognitive, emotional and social development. The objective of the present study is to analyse the perceived impact of an emotional education programme for teachers in training. A total of 56 student teachers, from seven different master's degree programmes, completed a six-session programme. The evaluation was conducted through an experiential portfolio, which included the challenges and dynamics experienced in terms of emotional experience, the meaning of these experiences, and the difficulties and gains. The results revealed that, despite some difficulties, participation in the programme was considered by the participants as contributing to their emotional literacy, such as the ability to express and understand their own emotions and those of others, and to a growing sense of empathy and connectedness. This study highlights the importance of continuously investing in teachers' socioemotional growth and competence during their training and teaching careers.

The variables of gender, service time and academic training of teachers were also studied when they were related to personality dimensions. The NEO-Five Factors Inventory, the Rahim-II Organizational Conflict Inventory-Portuguese Version in the School Context, and a personal and professional data sheet were used as instruments, in a sample of 659 basic education teachers in Portuguese schools. Using a structural equation model, the results showed an association between all the variables under study. Neuroticism and responsibility are the best predictors of conflict management. The female gender is the one that presents the best results in all dimensions of personality. Teachers with more academic training showed less neuroticism, but were more extroverted, open to experience, agreeable, and responsible, and those with more seniority showed less neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, and agreeable. These results will constitute a mobilizing engine of more substantive pedagogical practices for the advancement of education.

However, there is a lack of research that relates teachers' emotionregulation ability to managing conflict. To bridge this gap, this pilot study aimed to examine the relationships between teachers' emotionregulation ability and conflict management strategies used in the classroom. The sample consisted of 878 teachers (61% women) working in Portuguese schools, which completed an application of Mayer and Salovey's emotional intelligence model and Rahim's model of conflict management. Using the structural equation modeling, findings revealed that the teachers who tend to show a greater ability to regulate emotions use mainly integrating and compromising strategies to manage classroom conflicts more frequently than other strategies. In conclusion, it is necessary to create a curriculum in the pre-service teachers' education programs that includes emotional education, so that they can acquire emotional regulation skills, due to their importance in classroom conflict management.

El Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) es uno de los instrumentos más usados para evaluar la inteligencia emocional, pero no existen suficientes estudios en Latinoamérica que aborden sus propiedades psicométricas. Entonces, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la estructura interna (análisis factorial e invarianza de medición) de la TMMS en adolescentes peruanos, y obtener una versión breve. El estudio fue instrumental y se evaluó 492 adolescentes (52% hombres; Rangoedad = 12–17; Medad = 12.468; DTedad = 1.503) del primer al quinto grado de Educación Secundaria, procedentes de un colegio de Lima Metropolitana. Se analizaron tres modelos de medición: modelo original de tres factores, modelo bifactor, y modelo bifactor S-1. La invarianza de medición se analizó con un análisis factorial de grupo múltiple. El modelo de tres factores obtuvo mejor respaldo psicométrico y fue invariante según sexo y edad. Posteriormente, se obtuvo una versión breve de la TMMS de 12 ítems (TMMS-12) considerando diversos criterios (carga factorial y simplicidad factorial, entre otros), la cual tuvo evidencia psicométrica favorable: equivalencia empírica con la TMMS, estructura interna bien definida, y coeficientes de fiabilidad adecuados. Se concluye que la TMMS-12 presenta evidencia psicométrica favorable.

Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la Utrech Work Engagement Scale – 9S (UWES-9S) en adolescentes peruanos: estructura interna, invarianza de medición, asociación con la autoeficacia académica, confiabilidad y normas. Fueron evaluados 868 adolescentes escolares (51.728% mujeres; Medad = 14.263; DEedad = 1.430) procedentes de seis colegios de la Provincia Constitucional del Callao (costa central del Perú). Además de la UWES-9S se utilizó la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica para Situaciones Académicas como medida de autoeficacia. Los resultados indican que la UWES-9S es unidimensional e invariante entre hombres y mujeres, aunque se eliminaron tres ítems derivando en una nueva versión: UWES-6S. Asimismo, la asociación con la medida de autoeficacia académica fue moderada (r > .50) y se obtuvo normas para hombres y mujeres por separado. Los indicadores de confiabilidad fueron satisfactorios tanto para las puntuaciones (coeficiente alfa y correlación inter-ítem promedio) como para el constructo (coeficiente omega > .80). Se concluye que la UWES-6S cuenta con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para su aplicación en adolescentes peruanos.
