• Emotional intelligence and mentoring in preservice teacher education: a literature review. By Hawkey, Kate. Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning, May2006, Vol. 14 Issue 2, p137-147, 11p.

In this article, the emerging discourse of emotional intelligence is discussed in relation to mentoring in pre-service teacher education. Possible reasons for the neglect of emotion and affect in pre-service teacher education, and in education more broadly, are discussed. The emerging focus on emotion in these fields is also examined in light of existing policy critiques. The dangers and pitfalls of using an emotional lens to look at the activity of mentoring are identified. The article focuses on policy and practice in relation to mentoring in pre-service teacher education in Britain, although the issues it raises are pertinent in the wider international field.
• The Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Student Teacher Performance. By: Drew, Todd L.. 2006 102 pp. (ED499558)

The purpose of this mixed methods study (N = 40) was to determine whether Student Teacher Performance (STP), as measured by a behavior-based performance evaluation process, is associated with Emotional Intelligence (EI), as measured by a personality assessment instrument. The study is an important contribution to the literature in that it appears to be the first study to explore the possibility an EI assessment instrument can predict STP. The results indicate that EI, as assessed by the BarOn EQ-i, and College Supervisors’ assessments of STP are related. However, data collected from the Cooperating Teacher and Student Teacher perspectives did not reveal any statistically significant relationship for any EQ/STP variable pair studied. While total Emotional Quotient (EQ) scores and scores for the Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and General Mood Scales had a statistically significant association with two or more individual aspects of STP, the Stress Management and Adaptability Scale scores did not have any statistically significant relationships with total or any aspect of STP. The four participants in the study who had the most anomalous EQ/STP combinations were contacted to participate in interviews. Two individuals agreed, and these interviews revealed the complexity surrounding assessment of STP, and four themes which fall within the following analogous EQ-i Subscales: Assertiveness, Interpersonal Relationships, Social Responsibility, and Flexibility. Finally, implications for those involved in the selection and preparation of teacher candidates are described.
• Emotional Intelligence and beginning Teacher Candidates. By: Justice, Madeline; Espinoza, Sue. Education, Summer2007, Vol. 127 Issue 4, p456-461, 6p; (AN 25607613)- EJ790125

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas will need over 82,000 new teachers by 2008. Many teachers are leaving the profession within 5 years of being employed. Closing a revolving door, teacher preparation programs are discussing this phenomenon. One hundred sixty beginning teacher candidates were surveyed using the Emotional Skills Assessment Process. According to the Emotional Intelligence Scale the candidates needed to strengthen skills in assertion, comfort, empathy, decision making, drive strength, time management, commitment ethic, self-esteem, stress management and deference. The skills leadership, aggression, and change orientation were current strengths. To face the challenges of a diverse classroom, these skills need to be developed, strengthened or enhanced if candidates are expected to have a longer teaching career

At the beginning of the second millennium, many university students in Taiwan that are enrolled in Freshman English are still being taught with teacher-centered methods. This study, which was inspired by the author’s studies and research in the theoretical arguments of the Natural Approach and Psychological Method put forth by American educator Stephen Krashen, was undertaken for the purpose of evaluating the practical applicability of communicative methodologies in a Taiwan classroom setting. This study especially focuses on the connection between students’ interest, self-esteem, attitude, motivation, and the use of various student-centered communicative activities designed to enhance confidence and language acquisition. Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative research methods focusing on learner perceptions of their overall learning experience, the author proves the effectiveness of pedagogies based on Krashen’s theory of affective filter.
• Affective Factors in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching: A Study of the "Filter." Jyvaskyla Cross-Language Studies, No. 13. By: Laine, Eero J.. 1987 92 pp. (ED292302)

A study of the affective "filter" inhibiting student learning of a second language focuses on the critical features of the filter, especially student self-concept and the general roles of personality traits and learning attitudes. Relevant research on motivation, personality traits, attitudes, and self-concept as they relate to learning is reviewed and three learning models are discussed: the motivational model, the "filter" model, and the self-concept model. Specific aspects of motivation, personality traits, attitudes, and self-concept that may relate to language learning are outlined and applied to existing research findings. In conclusion, a working hypothesis concerning the affective filter in language learning, to be validated in a later study, is proposed. A seven-page reference list is provided and figures for the three learning models are appended.
• The Affective Filter in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching. Report 2: A Validation Study of Filtering Factors with a Focus on the Learner's FL Self-Concept. Jyvaskyla Cross-Language Studies, No. 15.

A study investigated Finnish high school students' second language learning motivation, attitudes, self-concepts, inhibitions, and selected personality traits. The study attempted to learn more about the nature, content, and functions of the "affective filter" in foreign language learning. A variety of relationships between these factors were found, and a number of "filter" and "non-filter" learner types were distinguished. The study's design, results, and implications for language teaching and for future research efforts are discussed. A bibliography of over 60 references is included.

"John Mayer: In regard to measuring emotional intelligence -- I am a great believer that criterion-report (that is, ability testing) is the only adequate method to employ. Intelligence is an ability, and is directly measured only by having people answer questions and evaluating the correctness of those answers.
I am, however, a great defender of self-judgment data for other purposes. For example, you mentioned that self-judgment has allowed us to get a handle on why and how people suffer, and I agree entirely with that position. I think self-judgment data represents the single best approach to measuring personal emotional states and their outcomes."

• Affective filter
• The affective filter is an impediment to learning or acquisition caused by negative emotional ("affective") responses to one's environment. It is a hypothesis of second language acquisition theory, and a field of interest in educational psychology.

According to the affective filter hypothesis, certain emotions, such as anxiety, self-doubt, and mere boredom interfere with the process of acquiring a second language. They function as a filter between the speaker and the listener that reduces the amount of language input the listener is able to understand. These negative emotions prevent efficient processing of the language input. [1] The hypothesis further states that the blockage can be reduced by sparking interest, providing low anxiety environments and bolstering the learner's self-esteem.

Voices From the Field: Identifying and Overcoming Roadblocks to Carrying Out Programs in Social and Emotional Learning/Emotional Intelligence. By: Elias, Maurice J.; Bruene-Butler, Linda; Blum, Lisa; Schuyler, Thomas. Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation, 2000, Vol. 11 Issue 2, p253-272, 20p; (AN 3449115)
Consultants seeking to help educators implement social and emotional learning (SEL), emotional intelligence (EQ), prevention, and related programs face a number of difficulties. One of these is the need to address consultees at the appropriate level, so as not to scare them away from implementation because of all the complexities involved. Drawing from surveys of and site visits with implementers of SEL/EQ programs, the authors present an assortment of roadblocks that consultants (and other program implementers) can expect to encounter, how these have been addressed, and some community psychology principles to guide ongoing efforts. The article closes by using the analogy of a maiden voyage of a sailing ship to illuminate various implementation issues that arise when initiating and sustaining SEL/EQ and related prevention programs in schools.

Emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and coping among Chinese prospective and in-service teachers in Hong Kong. By: Chan, David W.. Educational Psychology, Jul2008, Vol. 28 Issue 4, p397-408, 12p, 3
Emotional intelligence (intrapersonal and interpersonal) and general teacher self-efficacy were assessed to represent personal resources facilitating active and passive coping in a sample of 273 Chinese prospective and in-service teachers in Hong Kong. Intrapersonal emotional intelligence and interpersonal emotional intelligence were found to predict significantly active coping strategy, but teacher self-efficacy did not contribute independently to the prediction of active coping even though there was some evidence that teacher self-efficacy might interact with intrapersonal emotional intelligence in the prediction of active coping, especially for male teachers. The implications of the findings for preventive intervention efforts to combat teacher stress through teaching to enhance emotional intelligence are discussed.

The analysis of the emotional intelligence skills and potential problem areas of elementary educators- By: Kaufhold, John A.; Johnson, Lori R.. Education, Summer2005, Vol. 125 Issue 4, p615-626, 12p, 2 Charts, 3 Graphs; (AN 17488988)
The study's purpose was to examine emotional intelligence skills and potential problem areas of elementary educators. The study provided elementary educators with a self-assessment of emotional intelligence skills to utilize in the workplace and beyond. An improved understanding of personal skills and weaknesses may lessen educator's risk of psychological burnout. In addition, increased awareness of children's emotional intelligence skills offers educators an alternative means of student assessment. The study's research population consisted of a cluster sample of elementary educators. Each educator varied in regard to length of time in profession and level of education. Many variables were increasing the likelihood of psychological burnout for these educators. The significant fmdings of this study reveal that elementary educators do not perceive any personal, "enhanced" emotional intelligence skills. The comparison between Master's level and bachelor's level educator's perceptions of personal emotional intelligence skills were similar. Master's level teacher viewed themselves as having higher self-esteem, stress management, and anger management skills, while Bachelor's level teachers perceived themselves as having more enhanced assertion skills.
