In the educational field, emotional intelligence (EI) has gained relevance after Goleman's (1996) research, highlighting its crucial role in personal and professional success. This study set out to identify EI and teachers' professional ability. Through a systematic review using EBSCO, SCOPUS and Google Scholar, 23 scientific articles were analyzed based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results revealed a close relationship between EI and teacher professional capacity, indicating that training in this area is under development. However, it was concluded that there is a deficiency in the EI of teachers, both at the basic and higher levels, indicating the need to strengthen this aspect in teacher training.

Keywords : Emotional intelligence; Teaching performance; Pedagogical practice.
