Physical Education (PE) teachers’ responsibility is critical in supporting the development of students’ motivation, positive attitude and behaviour. . This study explored students’ conflict management styles, the most common sources of conflicts during PE, and the relationship between conflict management styles, self-perceived health and social-emotional wellbeing among high school students in Hungary. A self-administered, anonymous, cross-sectional survey was completed by students in high school (n=385, 54.8 % female Mage =16.98 yrs, SD. 1.28). Only 2.9% of the students reported applying a collaborating management style. These students also rated their health higher. However, students with competitive conflict management were more satisfied with their lives. Most students never had conflicts with the teacher, and if any, they used accommodating conflict management strategies. Behavioural expectations, extreme performance requirements, and disliking the subject were the most common sources of conflicts in PE. The conflict management strategies did not significantly correlate with the psychosomatic symptoms scale; however, students with collaborating conflict management reported fewer sleep problems. These findings underpin the significant role of conflict management skills in health and social-emotional wellbeing. Keywords: adolescent, team sports, physical education, wellbeing, conflicts

The objective of this study was to examine the role resilience plays in the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and anxiety and life satisfaction. A total of 470 students from the University of Zagreb in Croatia participated in the study. The results are explained within the framework of McCrae and Costa's (1991) temperament and instrumental model of personality and well-being. A path analysis and a bootstrapping resampling method were performed. Higher levels of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability were associated with higher levels of resilience, which was related to lower levels of anxiety and higher life satisfaction. It can be concluded that resilience is a full mediator between extraversion and conscientiousness on the one hand, and life satisfaction and anxiety on the other. In addition, resilience is a partial mediator between agreeableness and emotional stability, and also between life satisfaction and anxiety. The practical contribution of the study lies in understanding how to better support students’ mental health by targeting the protective factors of different personality traits.

What happens when affection and the awareness of affectivity, in the sense of ‘love’ or ‘tenderness’, become the objects of training and evaluation in pre-service teacher education? Our theoretical framework describes the link between positive emotional arousal and learning, the role played by the emotional dimension in the construction of a professional teaching identity, and the relevance of a teacher’s historical-emotional background for the cognitive construction of heuristics. We developed a teaching program designed to energize the experience of pre-service teachers in the university classroom. Through positive emotional arousal, we aimed to provoke a series of creative reflection processes regarding the teaching profession. Our research goal was to describe and interpret the program’s potential effects on the learning process and the construction of these pre-service teachers’ professional identity. The method applied in this paper was action-research carried out during three academic years of fieldwork with a total of 365 students. We coded the students’ narratives regarding their learning process and teaching identity into several conceptual nodes representing their insights and feelings concerning those topics. Our results and discussion highlight the importance of affective teacher education as a means of enhancing pre-service teachers’ learning, contributing toward the growth of their professional identity, and cultivating a culture of care and love in the classroom.

The present study aimed to determine the emotional characteristics of the Trait-Meta-Mood-Scale (TMMS-24) in music-oriented secondary school students in Italy. A 24-item self-assessment protocol was applied to measure the level of perceived emotional intelligence according to 3 dimensions: attention, clarity and repair. This tool represents one of the most widely used self-assessment measures of perceived emotional intelligence. The objective of the study was to conduct construct validation to examine reliability of the Italian version of the TMMS-24 in order to identify its feasibility for the assessment of emotional intelligence. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were conducted on a sample of music-oriented secondary school students in Italy (n=402). Exploratory factor analysis outcomes revealed that the three dimensions of the original scale (attention, clarity and emotional repair) are supported in the examined context, showing adequate internal consistency and describing 52.6% of overall variance. Outcomes were confirmed via confirmatory analysis, obtaining good fit indices (CFI=0.986; TLI=0.985; RMSEA=0.038). The TMMS-24 scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the emotional intelligence of secondary school students in Italy. Keywords: TMMS-24, emotional intelligence, secondary school education, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis.

The present work aims to study the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence, and general and emotional vocabulary. Undergraduate Psychology (N = 99) and Design (N = 44) students completed a number of tests about emotional intelligence (TMMS-21), general vocabulary (BAIRES-A), and emotional vocabulary respectively. The predictive effect of emotional vocabulary differed across different factors of emotional intelligence (positive in attention to feelings and negative in emotion repair), while a positive association was found in psychology students with more years completed at university. Psychology students had higher emotional vocabulary than Design students. Emotional vocabulary had limited influence on emotional intelligence, contrary to the theory of Constructed Emotion. keywords: emotional vocabulary, emotional concepts, emotional skills, emotional intelligence

The books reviewed here explore the myriad ways in which the relationships that children and young people experience within the family, in schools and community, and with their peers have a profound impact on their development. The first book, L'apprendimento sociale ed emotivo. Teorie e buone pratiche per promuovere la salute mentale a scuola by Valeria Cavioni & Ilaria Grazzani, provides an extremely useful theoretical overview of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and the various explanatory models that underpin it. The research evidence is clearly evaluated and the implications for practice explored by two renowned experts in the field. Examples of recent interventions as practised in schools today will be useful for researchers and teachers alike, as well as for those who are developing policies to enhance the emotional health and wellbeing of all children and young people, and for all healthcare professionals who work with children and youth. It is published in Italian but it is to be hoped that a translation into English will soon be forthcoming so that it will reach a wider audience.

The Covid-19 pandemic has provided a window of opportunity for education and schools to become more caring and compassionate, with wellbeing and social and emotional education becoming more established as a primary goal of post-covid education. Such a process, however, needs to start with the adults themselves, with initial teacher education becoming a transformative personal and social process where teachers develop the requisite competences to become caring, responsive and inclusive educators and mentors through an experiential, reflective and collaborative approach. In the first paper in this edition, Falcón-Linares (Spain) evaluates an affective pedagogy action research programme aimed at arousing positive emotions such as kindness and tenderness amongst preservice teachers through an integrated explicit and vicarious learning. The narratives of over 360 student teachers highlight the role of affective teacher education in fostering the growth of their professional identity and of an ethic of care in the classroom.

This study examines how student engagement and social relationships between teachers and students may enhance the learning experiences of students in a South African university. Two separate sets of semi-structured interviews were held with 27 university teachers and 51 students respectively. The findings revealed that that the relationships between the behavioural and cognitive dimensions of student engagement and social relationships between teachers and students are motivated by good relational communication; relational pedagogy; good inter-relational culture; teacher relational competences (cognitive, behavioural and inter-cultural); and teacher demonstration of care. The current study adds to the literature on relational pedagogy and student engagement by highlighting the importance of inter-relational culture and teacher relational competences to the behavioural and cognitive development of university students. Moreover, when students and particularly, first generation students, students from low socio-economic backgrounds and students from rural communities develop good relationships with their teachers, they are set to have positive learning experiences.

The well-being of teachers is a critical concern with significant implications for teaching effectiveness and student outcomes. However, there exists a notable gap in the literature concerning the well-being of pre-service teachers. Moreover, there is a scarcity of research focusing on the unique challenges faced by prospective special education teachers. This study addresses this dual gap by exploring the well-being of pre-service special education teachers and its relationship with self-efficacy and work commitment. Data was collected from a sample of 133 preservice teachers (mean age = 38,14; sd = 8.25 years) enrolled in a professional course for high school special education teachers. Employing cluster analysis, three distinct profiles based on mental health, perceived stress, and resilience z-scores were identified. We further explored how the identified well-being profiles related to self-efficacy and work engagement. The findings provide valuable insights on improving educational policies, personalized teacher training programs, and early support structures to nurture educators’ well-being and equip them with the skills necessary to navigate the complex landscape of special education.

The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effects of two emotional education programmes in a charter school in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain, on students’ emotional competence and the social climate in the classroom. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest repeated measures design with a control group was utilized in the study. The participants in the study were 105 students in Year 6 of primary school and Year 2 of secondary school. The Emotional Development Questionnaire (EDQ) and the Classroom Social Climate Scale (CES) were used to assess the effect of the intervention. The results indicate that the ‘Sentituz 10-12’ programme is effective in improving students’ social competence and the quality of student-teacher relationships, whereas the ‘Sentituz 12-14’ programme is effective in promoting the emotional autonomy and overall emotional competence of students. This was however, a small scale preliminary study, and further and more rigorous studies are also need in order to evaluate the impact of these two emotional education programmes.
