Summary/Abstract: Conduct, the systematic way a person behaves, has profound and varied consequences on our lives, influencing personal, professional and social aspects. These consequences can be both positive and negative, depending on the person's reactions to different endogenous and exogenous variables. Appropriate behaviour enhances empathic communication, facilitates the development of healthy interpersonal relationships and can contribute to creating a harmonious environment where individuals feel respected, valued and safe to express themselves freely and unhindered. This is essential not only for the emotional well-being of individuals but also for the cohesion of (micro)communities and social cohesion in society.Through this study, we explored primary school teachers' perceptions and interest in teaching the optional subject Education for Society in the context of developing personal, social and learning to learn key competence. In the micro research, we used a nonexperimental design and the research method was a questionnaire survey. Sampling was non-probability, voluntarily, the only criterion considered for the selection of teachers participating in the micro-survey was their willingness to answer the questionnaire questions. The questionnaire was distributed and disseminated online on discussion forums and social networks.
