  • Teachers’ attitudes about social and emotional learning as predictors of their relational competence [Elektronski vir]
    Kerman, Katja ; Košir, Katja
    This study investigates teachers’ attitudes toward social and emotional learning (SEL) as predictors of different dimensions of their relational competence. With a sample of educators from different ... stages in the educational system, our study finds that the two most consistent predictors of positive teacher relational outcomes were teachers’ comfort with supporting social and emotional learning and their commitment to learning about and enhancing social and emotional learning. These findings suggest that teachers who are confident in their abilities to enhance students social and emotional competencies and are committed to ongoing trainings and learning related to enhance them are more likely to develop and maintain positive relationships with students. Surprisingly, perceived school culture support for SEL and understanding its importance were not significant predictors. The study suggests that enhancing teachers’ SEL-related self-efficacy could further develop their relational competence. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported measures. The findings of our study highlight the need for professional development focused on SEL within teacher training programs.
