Abstract

Social-emotional competencies are one of the important key factor to promote teachers’ mental health and the effectiveness of social-emotional learning programs in schools. However, instruments assessing teachers’ social-emotional competencies remain scarce in the literature. This paper aims to review on the conceptualizations and psychometric properties of existing measures on teachers’ social-emotional competencies using the COSMIN checklist. Results showed that the most popular teachers’ social-emotional competencies instrument adopted the emotional intelligence model. Recently developed teachers’ social-emotional competencies instruments focused more on the CASEL framework. Among the nine COSMIN criteria, content validity and structural validity are most frequently found to be sufficient in previous studies. Discussion of key findings and recommendations for future research are presented.
