The purpose of this study was to develop and verify the psychometrics properties of the socio-emotional competences (SECs) measure for elementary school teachers (EMODOC). These competences are results of the articulation between knowledge, abilities and motivations to deal with socio-emotional demands. The study was carried out in two stages. In the first qualitative stage, focus groups and interviews were conducted with teachers to support the development of the items. Analysis by judges was then performed considering the agreement index. The second quantitative stage, evaluated the psychometric qualities of the EMODOC with a sample composed of 188 public school teachers from a capital city in the northeast of Brazil. The results indicated a unifactorial structure with the presence of three facets. It was concluded that the EMODOC presents evidence of validity and reliability. This measure is innovative considering the situational aspects of the phenomenon, evaluating the SECs of teachers in situations of interaction with students in the classroom.

Keywords : socio-emotional competences; teaching; evidence of reliability; evidence ofvalidity; public school.
