| Sumario: | Numerous studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of emotional intelligence on teachers’ work, and it is, therefore, increasingly becoming an essential skill for teachers. However, although several studies have shown that emotional intelligence positively impacts the teaching and learning process, there are few instruments to assess emotional skills and competence specifically in teachers. The present study aimed to analyse the internal structure of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire for Teachers (ESCQ-T) and to derive a short version. 1619 teachers from Portuguese schools participated in the study, divided into two samples (validation and replication). The analysis was framed within the framework of exploratory structural equation modelling. A short version of the 15-item ESCQ-T (ESCQ-T15) was obtained considering several criteria with favourable psychometric evidence: empirical equivalence with the ESCQ-T, well-defined internal structure, and adequate reliability coefficients. After consolidating the short version, the invariance between men and women in the two samples was analysed. The results showed that the ESCQ-T15 is valid and reliable. It is concluded that this short version can be a valuable instrument for assessing teachers’ emotional skills and competences. |
