Abstract
Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and utilize emotions in oneself and others. It involves self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation, and effective social skills, enabling better interpersonal relationships, communication, and overall emotional well-being. Teachers need emotional intelligence to understand and respond effectively to students' emotions, creating a supportive and empathetic learning environment. This skill helps manage classroom dynamics, address individual needs, and handle conflicts sensitively. Emotional intelligence enables teachers to build strong relationships, boost student engagement, and foster a positive educational experience.
