CONDITIONS FOR DEVELOPING DIGITAL EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the role and significance of emotional intelligence in the educational process. The structural components of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, emotion regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills—are examined in close connection with the psychological and pedagogical aspects of the learning process. The study substantiates, based on scientific evidence, the role of emotional intelligence in developing students’ intrinsic motivation, optimizing the socio-psychological climate in the classroom, and enhancing the effectiveness of pedagogical communication. In addition, the consequences of insufficient emotional intelligence in modern educational environments—such as psychological strain, stress, and barriers to development—are specifically addressed. The article proposes effective approaches for developing emotional intelligence, including pedagogical technologies, training methods, reflective practices, and strategies for improving teachers’ emotional intelligence competencies. The findings indicate that when emotional intelligence is well-developed among both students and educators, positive interpersonal relationships are formed, significantly increasing the overall effectiveness of the educational process
