Abstract

This study explores to record how school teachers' demographic characteristics, including age, educational background, and location, relate to the four main components / dimensions of emotional intelligence (EI): self-awareness, motivation, empathy, and social skills.  Using a validated Emotional Intelligence scale, this study  has been done based on the survey using a sample of 150 school teachers in recognition of the importance of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in effective teaching, especially in forming interpersonal relationships, classroom management, and decision-making.  Significant correlations between particular EI components and the stated demographic characteristics were found by statistical analysis, utilizing the Chi-Square Test of Independence. For instance, metropolitan location was associated with improved social skills, while older educators and those with more education demonstrated better levels of self-awareness and empathy. These results highlight how crucial it is for teacher preparation programs to take demographically sensitive methods. To promote more emotionally competent teaching settings and better overall educational achievements, the school administrators and legislators are suggested to create focused EI development modules, especially for younger or less experienced instructors and those in remote locations.
