The paper focuses on the intertwining between affect and cognition in pre-service primary teachers, with the twofold goal of studying teachers' affect when facing problem-solving activities and of exploring paths for teacher professional development. 81 future teachers were proposed problem solving activities with specific " affective documentation " requests. We present here the first results of data analysis, and describe the main af-fective pathways emerged. Results are then discussed also with respect to methodological issues and to implications for teacher education activities that include the affective factors as relevant variables.
