Abstract
This study was aimed at deepening into the understanding of students' emotions in self- perceived meaningful situations. 410 situations were analyzed, identified by 141 Primary Education Bacherlor's Degree students (102 women and 39 men). The analysis of the situations was carried out through lexical analysis, using Reinert method and the relation between independent variables was ex- amined through specificty analysis. The results showed that the most significant emotions for students were anxiety when doing oral presentations, anger when working in groups and joy resulting from the obtention of good results. In the case of independent variables, differences between students' charac- teristics were observed. This research raises the need of reconsidering different aspects of the degree, as well as the importance of including emotional intelligence in it.
