Empatia educacional: influência da relação docente-discente na permanência dos estudantes de Pedagogia do Centro de Educação da UFPB

Abstract

Educational empathy in the formative process of education professionals emerges as a fundamental characteristic for pedagogical performance. Seeking to understand the teacher-student relationship, we question how educational empathy can assist in student retention. Therefore, we aim to investigate how empathic processes occur in the relationship between teachers and students, as well as to identify the influence of empathy on the retention of students in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). In this vein, we use the report of the EscutAção Discente project at UFPB as a documentary source, which relied on some Rogerian precepts, identifying the emerging situation of constant discussions about the teacher-student relationship in Higher Education, addressing favorable conditions for growth through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence.
