A STUDY OF TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS IN RELATION TO THEIR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Research Studies have revealed that emotional intelligence (EI) has a strong influence on individual's job
performance and most of the studies are limited mostly to the corporate sector. Thus, the present research article
tries to explore the effect of teacher’s level of emotional intelligence on their teaching effectiveness. In this century,
the role of the teacher has drastically changed where the focus is on developing higher order thinking skills among
students to enable them communicate effectively, collaborate and develop skills that are needed along with
intelligent decisions in order to achieve various outcomes for their peers in their classes and make wise judgments
in future. Teachers equally must also possess Emotional Intelligence in order to understand the emotions of the
self and the people around them which will directly affect the way they are teaching and the pedagogies that they
adapt for the same. EI capacity of the teachers is the vibrant sign for their effectiveness in teaching. Teacher
attention for students produces effective results in learning in form of social skills as performance so it plays role
in wellbeing of students regarding all aspects of students’ life.
