Teachers’ interpersonal emotion regulation refers to the processes through which teachers manage both their own emotions and those of colleagues in ways that shape teacher well-being, student well-being, and student learning outcomes. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) are collaborative spaces that can provide emotional support, reduce professional isolation, and enhance job satisfaction, yet the mechanisms through which they achieve this remain insufficiently understood. This study examined how participation in a PLC contributes to the interpersonal emotion regulation of Chilean science teachers. A qualitative interpretative methodology was employed, combining thematic and narrative analysis of five PLC sessions in which teachers shared pedagogical experiences and reflected on emotions and practices. The analysis identified several interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, including labeling, receptive listening, valuing, safety signals, and cognitive reappraisal. The findings underscore the importance of examining the emotional dimensions of teaching, particularly in Latin America, where working conditions require the integration of emotional education into pre-service and in-service teacher training, thereby strengthening relationships, collective agency, and professional development in unstable contexts.
