This article presents the results of a research conducted over the years 2011-2012, in which the role of teachers in the face of the emotions felt in the classroom by third graders in two urban schools of the province of San José was analyzed. The research was based on the identification of the knowledge, skills, strategies and resources used by teachers as a response to different emotions that children manifest in the classroom. The research methodology was developed under a mixed approach; therefore it was divided in a qualitative and a quantitative phase. In each of them different instruments were applied based on the research objectives; subsequently an integration of both approaches was elaborated. From the results obtained the enablers and obstacles of teaching work on the emotions of their students were identified; consequently a deficiency of the knowledge of teachers i on the topic, a lack of strategies applicable to the emotions of students and little knowledge in terms of emotional education in the classroom was confirmed.

Palabras clave : emotional education; teaching role; elementary school; emotional skills; emotional development; Costa Rica.
