Abstract
Formal aspects, such as contents, methodologies, objectives, or resources, are key elements in the teaching-learning process, and necessary to ensure its quality. However, well-being and socio-emotional competencies are also crucial. If teachers experience good levels of well-being and feel socially, emotionally, and morally competent, they will be able to achieve a high-quality professional performance. This is fundamental in the training of teachers, given the demands of their position. Different approaches are advocating for the inclusion of well-being and socio-emotional and moral competencies in the educational curriculum to foster educational contexts aiming the optimal development and functioning of students. After conceptualizing the constructs of well-being and socio-emotional and moral competencies, this chapter aims to review related educational practices, thus underlining the complex process of their inclusion in the curriculum. The relevance and usefulness that virtual learning environments have acquired in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic will also be discussed.
