Sažetak
Teaching is among other things an emotional endeavour. Being
emotionally competent has tacitly become a prerequisite for the
teaching profession, thus raising the question of teachers’ actual
emotional competence as well as manners of acquiring these
skills. This paper aims to discuss how emotions relate to the
teaching profession and also provides results of a small scale
study conducted on a sample of 144 teachers from secondary
schools in the City of Rijeka regarding the teachers’ assessment of
their emotional competence. The results of the study point to
overall high assessments of teachers’ emotional competence
which is an encouraging result but could also point to the idea
Hargreaves (2000) introduced, which entails the notion that
expressing positive emotions and being emotionally competent
has become a moral commitment and a professional standard for
the teachers which makes them feel obliged to live up to
those standards.
