A Socio-Scientific Assessment of Emotional Intelligence Among Secondary School Teachers in Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a vital tool for teachers to manage classroom challenges and improve student success. This research paper looks at the level of Emotional Intelligence among secondary school teachers in Uttar Pradesh. The study uses a sample of 700 teachers to understand how personal factors like gender, location, and teaching experience affect their emotional skills. Using the Emotional Intelligence Scale, the study measures four main areas: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, and relationship management. The results show that most teachers in the region have a high level of emotional intelligence. However, differences were found based on gender and whether the teacher lives in a rural or urban area. These findings suggest that emotional training can help teachers handle negative feelings in a healthy way to create a better learning environment.
