Abstract

This doctoral research article examines the socioaffective profile of primary school teachers as a structural condition for the humanization of the teaching and learning process in the Colombian context. Drawing on an interpretive-constructivist paradigm and a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, the discourses of in-service teachers were analyzed through in-depth interviews and focus groups. The application of the constant comparative method enabled the inductive construction of five core categories: teacher emotional competence, pedagogical affective bonding, humanizing pedagogical practice, vocational identity and ethics of care, and contextual-territorial dimension. These categories were integrated into the Categorical Matrix of the Socioaffective Teacher Profile (CMSP), the original methodological contribution of this study. The discussion dialectically confronts the findings with the theoretical frameworks of Vygotsky, Freire, Goleman, and Noddings, identifying productive convergences and resolvable contradictions. Results show that the socioaffective dimension of teaching is not a peripheral attribute but the very condition of possibility of genuinely humanizing pedagogical practice, and that its systematic development represents a historical debt of initial and continuing teacher training programs in Colombia. The conclusions put forward a tridimensional, contextually situated synthesis of the socioaffective teacher profile and directly address Colombian educational policy, particularly within the framework of Law 2384 of 2024.
