Teacher modeling in the Primary Education classroom: challenges and Challenges

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze teacher modeling in primary education classrooms and its effect on student learning. Traditionally, education has prioritized the teaching of theoretical content over knowledge linked to personal development. Historically, educational systems have focused on the practical development of the individual, often neglecting the importance of interpersonal relationships and students' emotional well-being. In recent decades, however, there has been a growing body of research emphasizing the significance of interpersonal relationships in children, including emotional well-being and social competencies. A qualitative exploratory methodology was applied within a descriptive research framework, incorporating a critical literature review to examine the current state of knowledge on the topic. In summary, teacher modeling is not merely another didactic tool but a political-pedagogical act that shapes critical citizens. Its effective implementation demands courage to abandon entrenched habits and a commitment to a humanizing education.
