Emotional control in teachers is a key factor in the quality of the teaching-learning process, as it directly influences classroom management, teacher well-being, and student performance. This research analyzes the relationship between teachers' emotional intelligence and its impact on the educational environment, comparing the obtained results with the existing theoretical framework. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys and interviews with teachers from different educational levels to assess their emotional regulation strategies and their influence on student interactions.The findings reveal that teachers with higher emotional intelligence demonstrate more effective classroom management, fostering a positive learning environment and reducing stress levels. Additionally, emotional regulation was found to contribute to lowering the risk of teacher burnout while enhancing motivation for both educators and students. Furthermore, a correlation was identified between teachers' emotional control and their willingness to embrace inclusive education, highlighting the need to strengthen these competencies in teacher training programs.In conclusion, the study reaffirms the importance of emotional intelligence in teaching and underscores the necessity of implementing training programs in emotional regulation for educators. These initiatives would not only contribute to teachers' well-being but also enhance educational quality, promoting a more harmonious and effective learning environment.
