PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN STUDENTS

Abstract

The development of social and emotional intelligence (SEI) is increasingly recognized as a key factor in fostering students' holistic development. This article explores pedagogical approaches aimed at enhancing SEI in students, highlighting the role of teachers and educational systems in this process. Through examining various strategies, including collaborative learning, emotional regulation exercises, and social awareness activities, the paper investigates the impact of these methods on students' academic performance, mental well-being, and social interactions. The findings suggest that integrating SEI development into curricula not only improves students’ emotional and social capabilities but also contributes to a more supportive and engaging learning environment.
