ABSTRACT Guided by the framework of socio‐emotional learning and technology‐enhanced pedagogy, this study examines the role of AI‐based emotion recognition in shaping educational outcomes, including teacher feedback quality, classroom dynamics and teacher job satisfaction. Findings indicate that AI‐based emotion recognition significantly enhances classroom interactions and feedback quality, which in turn positively influences teacher job satisfaction. The study highlights the interconnectedness of emotional, pedagogical, and technological factors, offering novel insights into how AI tools can foster emotionally responsive and effective teaching environments. By emphasising the theoretical and practical implications, this research underscores innovative pathways for integrating emotionally intelligent AI in education, while encouraging consideration of ethical and contextual factors.
