This research, investigating the subjects of degree courses for mathematics teachers, intends to identify the contents that deal with emotional competences. This study seeks to find out the handicaps and suggest improvements in teacher training, through thinking over the syllabuses of such degree programs. This research contributes to enrich the reflections that arise in the field of education about teaching practices, and the challenges that future teachers will face in the classroom. The exploratory and descriptive methodology is based on bibliographical and documentary research. The analysis of the subjects and syllabuses of the current curricula of math courses in five Brazilian universities utilized a selected sample which took into account the distribution by region. The results allowed to identify the deficiencies in such competences, and led to the conclusion that there is a content deficit in emotional competences. A deficit that reflects the basic training of teachers in mathematics degree courses. In short, emotional competences are superficially considered in the core curricula of teaching degree courses we have studied in the Brazilian context. This indicates that the prospective teacher does not receive adequate training that will meet the needs in their educational practice.
