Developing preschool teachers’ socio-emotional relational competence – theorising practice

The aim of the project is to develop, test and evaluate an educational model that strengthens trainee teachers’ socio-emotional relational competence and provides them with strategies for managing challenging interaction situations with children whose behaviour may be perceived as demanding, which in the long term can be expected to support children’s capacity for emotional self-regulation and thereby also create the conditions for children’s well-being, development and learning.
