1. INTRODUCTION

A. Background and Rationale

In the field of education, the role of teachers is pivotal in shaping the minds and futures of students. The traditional understanding of effective teaching has focused on pedagogical skills, subject matter knowledge, and classroom management. However, recent research has highlighted the importance of an often-overlooked aspect: emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and express emotions in oneself and others effectively [1].

The concept of emotional intelligence was popularized by Daniel Goleman in the mid-1990s, and it has since gained significant attention in various fields, including education. Teachers’ emotional intelligence can significantly impact their interactions with students, classroom dynamics, and ultimately, the learning outcomes of their students [2].

B. Objectives of the Review

The primary objective of this systematic review is to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and teacher effectiveness. Specifically, the review aims to:

a. Examine the existing literature on emotional intelligence and its impact on teacher effectiveness.

b. Identify the key components of emotional intelligence that are most relevant to teaching and their influence on various aspects of teaching effectiveness.

c. Analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and student outcomes, including academic performance, motivation, and socio-emotional development.

d. Assess the potential role of emotional intelligence in teacher training and professional development programs.

e. Identify any gaps or limitations in the current research on emotional intelligence in teaching and propose directions for future research.

C. Scope and Importance of Emotional Intelligence in Teaching

The scope of this review encompasses empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and meta-analyses related to emotional intelligence and its impact on teacher effectiveness. Additionally, it examines studies conducted across various educational levels, from early childhood to higher education, in both general and specialized subjects.

The importance of emotional intelligence in teaching lies in its potential to enhance teacher-student relationships, classroom management, and overall teaching effectiveness. As teachers interact with diverse groups of students with different learning styles, backgrounds, and emotional needs, possessing high emotional intelligence becomes crucial for creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.

Emotional intelligence allows teachers to empathize with their students, understand their emotions, and respond appropriately to their individual needs. This, in turn, fosters a sense of trust and mutual respect between teachers and students, which can significantly impact student engagement and motivation to learn.

Moreover, emotionally intelligent teachers can effectively manage their own emotions, cope with stress, and maintain a positive attitude, even in challenging situations. This resilience can contribute to reduced teacher burnout and improved overall well-being, leading to greater job satisfaction and longevity in the teaching profession.

Additionally, emotional intelligence is closely linked to effective classroom management. Teachers with high emotional intelligence can effectively handle disruptive behaviors and conflicts, thereby creating a conducive learning environment where students feel safe and motivated to participate actively in their education.

Furthermore, emotional intelligence can positively influence student outcomes. Teachers who are attuned to their students’ emotions can provide the necessary support and guidance to help them navigate academic challenges and personal struggles effectively.

In conclusion, emotional intelligence is a critical aspect of teacher effectiveness that warrants in-depth exploration and understanding. As education systems strive to meet the evolving needs of students and society, acknowledging and nurturing emotional intelligence in teachers can be a powerful tool in creating a more compassionate, inclusive, and successful learning environment. This systematic review aims to shed light on the significance of emotional intelligence in teaching and its potential implications for educational practice and policy.
