The study focused on a unique intervention program aimed at enhancing emotional self-awareness and emotional regulation among preservice teachers, integrating these with metacognitive strategies.
Seventy-two third-year preservice teachers participated, with one group applying emotional assessment techniques and another group learning only metacognitive strategies.
Results showed that those in the experimental group significantly improved their cognitive reappraisal and metacognitive regulation compared to the control group, highlighting the importance of emotional skills in teacher training.
