Evaluación de la inteligencia emocional del maestro de educación física en centros educativos de la Región de Murcia.

Emotional intelligence is a key psychological factor to generate a teacher-student bond and an optimal teaching-learning process. Thus, the aim of this study was to know the level of emotional intelligence in Physical Education teachers. The sample consisted of 94 Physical Education teachers from different schools in the Region of Murcia. The questionnaire, used electronically, was the TMMS-24. The results only showed a positive correlation between clarity and emotional repair, with the latter dimension obtaining the highest scores among the participants. In relation to gender, females showed higher scores in emotional repair. On the other hand, teachers with less than five years' experience showed higher values in emotional intelligence, while the more experienced ones obtained higher values in emotional repair. The analysis of these results helps to improve teacher training about emotional intelligence.
