In this paper shows the results of a study whose objective is to research the perception of university professors regarding the development of their affective skills in virtual environments. The representative sample are full-time faculty from the Campus of Social, Economic, Administrative and Human Sciences of the Autonomous University of Yucatan. The study are quantitative, exploratory and cross-sectional in nature, since the impact of affectivity on virtual environments has not yet been investigated at this educational institution. The results indicate that 90% of the faculty who participated in the study do not show affective aspects when working in virtual environments, due to the fact that in their subjects they focus more on the development of cognitive and technical skills. These results are important to propose a concrete and adequate training design for the development of affective competencies applied to education through virtual environments.

Keywords : affectivity; virtual environments; teacher training; ICT.
