Educational Social Skills: a Study on Emotional Intelligence in Higher Education

Objective: the research aimed to identify the level of emotional intelligence of teachers of Lato Sensu Postgraduate Courses at an HEI in the Itajaí Valley (SC). Theoretical Framework: the text addresses the concept of Educational Social Skills (ESS) and Emotional Intelligence (EI), highlighting the impact of EI on teachers' performance in the classroom and in their interactions with students. Method: from a methodological point of view, the research was classified as qualitative, descriptive and exploratory, using the case study method. Eleven (11) teachers working in higher education took part in the study, specifically in Lato Sensu postgraduate courses at an HEI in the Itajaí Valley (SC). One of the instruments used was the emotional quotient mapping test - EQ Map, by Cooper and Sawaf (1997), to identify the level of emotional intelligence of the teachers. Results and Discussion: the results showed a high level of Emotional Intelligence in the scales relating to Work Pressures, Personal Pressures, Emotional Awareness, Emotional Awareness of Others, Intentionality, Creativity, Interpersonal Connections, Constructive Dissatisfaction, Personal Power, Relationship Quotient and Optimal Performance. On the other hand, the Compassion, Confidence Radius and General Health scales showed low levels. In general, at the time the survey was carried out, the teachers had a good level of Emotional Intelligence, indicating that they feel satisfied with their work at the institution, a fact that has a direct impact on their efficient performance with students in the classroom and, consequently, on their contribution to achieving the HEI's organizational objectives. Implications of the research: the research revealed the need to maintain the development of EI within the institution, exploring the educational social skills of teachers in order to better observe interpersonal relationships in the institutional environment. This analysis could stimulate longitudinal research that follows the evolution of teachers' emotional intelligence throughout their careers. Originality/Value: with the growing interest in research and studies on Emotional Intelligence, the challenges associated with Educational Social Skills (ES) and Emotional Intelligence applied to Higher Education continue to exist, representing a gap to be explored.

The impact of dance on enhancing social skills and emotional intelligence through creativity.

This research aims to analyze the impact of dance experience on the development of social and emotional competence in individuals, as well as to determine the influence of dance on the development of social interaction skills, communication, and perception of others. Additionally, through experimental means, effective strategies for utilizing dance to improve levels of social and emotional competence are identified. The study was conducted using online surveys and questionnaires. For data processing and analysis, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was employed, enabling the assessment of differences between the control and experimental groups across multiple dependent variables. Participants in the experimental group who participated in the program achieved a mean score of 75, which was higher than the control group's mean score of 70. The MANOVA confirmed the statistical significance of the obtained results, with an F-statistic of 7.412 and a p-value of <0.05. Furthermore, the experimental group demonstrated greater consistency in achieving program goals, as evidenced by a smaller standard deviation (10) compared to the control group (12). Therefore, the dance program can be recognized as an effective tool for developing social and emotional competence in youth. The practical significance of this article lies in the confirmation that participants in the experimental group, engaged in the program, achieved higher mean scores compared to the control group without such experience. Statistical analysis underscores the effectiveness of the program.

Charting the dual career journey: insights from adolescent athletes in lower secondary sport schools

ABSTRACT A dual career (DC) involves the integration of a sport career with education or employment, including various stages and transitions. Recently, there has been a notable trend of implementing DC programs within specialized sport schools for early adolescence athletes (ages 13–15). As this a crucial but understudied phase of the DC, the aim of this study was to identify current and projected resources and barriers associated with adolescent athletes’ DC in lower secondary school. As part of a larger three-year initiative, the Finnish Lower Secondary Sports Schools Pilot Project, sixteen (9 females and 7 males) adolescent DC athletes were interviewed twice in the eighth grade (M age = 14.4 years) and one year later in the ninth grade. Using the holistic athletic career model and push, pull, anti-push, anti-pull framework and a directed content analysis, the results revealed a range of immediate personal and environmental resources and barriers across athletic, academic, psychological, psychosocial and financial dimensions. They also suggested that interpersonal and institutional support were regarded as crucial assets for managing current challenges, while personal DC competencies, in particular, were emphasized as essential projected resources contributing to the sustainability of a DC in the future. Based on the findings, sports schools should increase the amount of hours dedicated to teaching DC competencies (e.g. emotional awareness, adaptability and social intelligence) to help athletes effectively cope with barriers and transitions. Additionally, flexible scheduling of teaching and training sessions could facilitate a better balance during demanding training periods.

Leadership characteristics to reduce staff attrition and absence related to burnout

Burnout among the paramedic profession is an increasing problem and not enough is being done to improve the current climate. It is for this reason that paramedics should individually contribute to the reduction of this issue by developing their own leadership characteristics, such as emotional intelligence, social intelligence, and stress and conflict management. Evidence suggests that these qualities and behaviours reduce the possibility of being subject to burnout symptomology. Implementing positive stress and conflict-management strategies will create a healthcare environment, which will be more enjoyable to work in. Emotional and social intelligence increase the resilience of prehospital clinicians who are subject to occupational challenges on a daily basis. Wider influences such as ambulance trusts, health services and governing bodies have implemented strategies to tackle this issue but clinicians can lead the change from the front line.

A quantitative approach using an explanatory research method was employed, with data collected from 100 gig workers through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results demonstrate that social support positively impacts career resilience, with emotional intelligence enhancing this effect by mediating the relationship between the two. Gig workers with higher emotional intelligence showed greater adaptability in overcoming career challenges. These findings suggest the importance of fostering both social support networks and emotional intelligence to bolster career resilience. This research provides new insights for developing support mechanisms and training programs to improve gig workers' resilience in volatile work environments.

Dukungan Sosial dan Kecerdasan Emosional Remaja

This article aims to examine the influence of social support on emotional intelligence among adolescents through a literature review. The issue is focused on how social support shapes emotional intelligence during adolescence, a crucial period marked by significant physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes, as outlined in Peter's theory. These changes often make it challenging for adolescents to differentiate between positive and negative influences, which can lead to deviant behaviors. According to Hayati, high levels of social support can have a positive impact on adolescents, such as providing care, emotional support, physical assistance, problem-solving capabilities, and a sense of being valued. Goleman's theory further suggests that emotional intelligence is not a fixed trait but a psychological factor that can be developed through environmental influences. This literature review synthesizes findings from 10 selected articles, gathered from electronic databases such as Google Scholar and Science Direct, focusing on studies published in the last ten years. The analysis reveals a significant positive relationship between social support and emotional intelligence in adolescents, indicating that higher levels of social support are associated with increased emotional intelligence.
