EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS CONCEPTUAL ROLE IN THE CLASSROOM

DR. RAMAGYA SINGH

Abstract

Having high levels of emotional intelligence is crucial for students' success in school and in life in general. It is the goal of a good education to assist students in developing not just their knowledge but also their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, often known as EQ, is the single most essential factor in determining a child's overall development and academic achievement. One of the most significant aspects of emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and take into account one's own emotions as well as the feelings of other people. When matters become difficult, a person who has a high level of emotional intelligence is able to maintain their composure, maintain control of their own emotions, and comprehend how others are experiencing. Those children who have a high emotional intelligence are better able to recover from difficult situations, get along with their classmates, and communicate how they are feeling and what they are thinking. The ability to demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence is very beneficial for both educators and students. All aspects of the students' lives, including their relationships, stress levels, and motivation, have improved. In order for instructors to make their classrooms secure places for children to learn, they need to establish an atmosphere that is encouraging and beneficial to the students. The focus of this research will be on the ways in which emotional intelligence influences the performance of instructors in their employment, the degree to which students get along with one another, and the level of success that students achieve on their final examinations.
