A Look at Teacher Training in Colombia: The Utopia of Emotional Training.

This paper is inspired by the conviction that education required by the new society goes beyond the cognitive paradigm and requires progressing towards a more comprehensive education in which emotional education is an imperative. As a result of research, and based on a comprehensive interest of teacher training in Colombia and under the methodological logic of the hermeneutic circle, this article contributes to open spaces for reflection on teacher in training colleges. The research allowed to understand critical aspects of the process of developing emotional competencies; based on a multiple case study in 75 teacher training colleges, complemented with the approach of one of them assumed as an instrumental case.
