AN ANALYSIS OF HOW "EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE" CAN INCREASE STUDENTS' INVOLVEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

In order to sustain and improve the learning and teaching in higher education, “student involvement” has recently attracted the attention of many. There is more to engagement than involvement or participation. We encounter many issues in the classroom as higher education participants, particularly when it comes to “student engagement”. We are having trouble getting more students to participate in class. The class is being disrupted by students using their phones, not paying attention, and not participating in the conversation. Most students are also willing to take the back seats. Instead of taking an active interest in the class activities, they merely demonstrate their presence. Their attendance in the class is the only reason they are there. The main topic of this paper is how to raise student involvement. Emotional intelligence and social intelligence are the two topics that the paper will explore. In addition, advice from the students is solicited on how to enhance their participation in class so that the subject is more clearly understood. As a result, my opinions as well as the insightful criticism provided by the students will be used to analyses the article. I used a systematic, closed-ended questionnaire to get the opinions of 50 students of BCA third semester.
