Abstract

Emotional intelligence abilities are present in most persons, but they are not observable. They have an impact on our ability to control behavior, handle social challenges, and make effective personal choices. Teachers' emotional intelligence abilities are wonderful components of the teaching process. These are extremely important in terms of student motivation and the student-teacher interaction. Every student is different in terms of motivation and the student-teacher interaction. Similarly, some kids are able to form positive teacher-student interactions while others are unable. These gaps can be filled by a teacher's emotional intelligence skills.
