WHY IS
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EI)
IMPORTANT?
When students can understand and manage emotions, they are more likely to get good grades and perform well during stressful times, such as exams. In fact, when it comes to academic performance, research has revealed emotional intelligence is almost as important as cognitive intelligence and having a conscientious attitude.
There is also evidence that emotional intelligence not only reduces sadness and depression; anxiety and withdrawal but also improves:
-
social cognitive skills;
-
emotion recognition and understanding;
-
self control;
-
conflict resolution;
-
planning and problem solving;
-
positive classroom atmosphere;
-
thinking before acting.
