La presente rassegna si propone di esaminare le pubblicazioni scientifiche internazionali che hanno indagato il rapporto tra l’Intelligenza Emotiva (intesa secondo il modello dei tratti e valutata attraverso questionari self-report), e il burnout professionale (caratterizzato da esaurimento emotivo, sentimenti di depersonalizzazione e ridotta autoefficacia) negli insegnanti di scuola primaria. Le recenti ricerche in questo campo, che non sono ancora state sufficientemente sistematizzate, sottolineano infatti l’importanza delle competenze emotive per facilitare e migliorare sia la prestazione lavorativa dei docenti, sia i processi di insegnamento-apprendimento. Alti livelli di Intelligenza Emotiva negli insegnanti sono correlati da un lato a una riduzione dello stress e dell’affaticamento emotivo, e dall’altro ad una maggiore soddisfazione personale nello svolgimento del proprio lavoro; inoltre, sono associati a migliori rapporti con tutti i protagonisti dell’ambiente educativo, con conseguenti effetti positivi sulla qualità della relazione con gli alunni e delle acquisizioni dei saperi.;
