Abstract:ANXIETY SELF-PERCEPTION IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION TEACHERS OF BADAJOZ AND CASTELO BRANCOThis study makes part of another broader one whose aim is analyzing the influence of the emotional competence on the social environment of a class and on the pupils’ academic performance. In particular, this part of the study intends to know the degree of Anxiety Self-Perception in Elementary Education teachers of educational centers of Castelo Branco (Portugal) and Primary Education teachers in the town of Badajoz (Spain), as an aspect which makes a condition of the teaching quality. To do so they designed an investigation, in which the results of an Anxiety Self-Percetion Test were contrasted in situations of the educational context carried out by Portuguese and Spanish teachers. As a general conclusion, the anxiety and stress self-perception in Spanish teachers is higher than in Portuguese ones, especially regarding the motor appearances, where we can find significant differences.Keywords: anxiety, teachers, school.Resumen:Este estudio forma parte de otro más amplio cuya finalidad es analizar la influencia de la competencia emocional en el clima social de un aula y en el rendimiento académico de los alumnos. Concretamente, esta parte del estudio pretende conocer el grado de Autopercepción de la Ansiedad en Maestros de Enseñanza Básica de centros educativos de la ciudad de Castelo Branco (Portugal)  y en Maestros de Educación Primaria de la ciudad de Badajoz (España), como aspecto que condiciona la calidad de la enseñanza. Para ello se diseñó una investigación, en la que se compararon los resultados de un Test de Autopercepción de Ansiedad en situaciones del contexto educativo cumplimentado por profesores portugueses y españoles. Como conclusión general, la autopercepción de la ansiedad y el estrés de los docentes españoles es superior al de los portugueses, sobre todo en lo que concierne a las manifestaciones motoras, en las que existen diferencias significativas.Palabras clave: ansiedad, docentes, escuela.

The focus of this chapter is on elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs') use of justification in problem-solving contexts based on a semester algebra course designed for elementary education mathematics minors. Formative assessment and digital tools facilitated the development of PSTs' understanding and use of justification in algebraic topics. The instructional model used includes the following components: negotiating a “taken-as-shared” justification rubric criteria; engaging in problem solving; preparing, digitally recording, and posting justification videos to the Cloud; and finally, listening and sharing descriptive feedback on the posted videos. VoiceThread was the digital venue for the preservice teachers to listen to their peers' justifications and post descriptive feedback. Findings from an analysis of a group focus on the PSTs' peer- and self-feedback as it developed through a semester and the PSTs' ability to provide a range of descriptive feedback with the potential to promote growth in the understanding and use of mathematical justification.
