Description
The study examines the efficacy of the Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Social Development course that is incorporated into the curriculum at the University of Languages and International Studies (ULIS). To assess the effectiveness of an online emotional course, this research examines its advantages and disadvantages. A literature review on the concepts of EI courses and mindfulness is initially provided to establish the framework for the study. Following this, the course instructors' perceptions of the merits and demerits of this course will be investigated using a qualitative research design and semi-structured interviews. During the data collection process, the research respondents held candid conversations about their personal experiences and perspectives while instructing the online EI course at ULIS. The presenter will therefore present the findings of this study. This research offers the data clustered by the development of two major emerging themes namely the advantages of online emotional intelligence course and the disadvantages of online emotional intelligence course. Every theme encompasses six subthemes, which are as follows: Innovative teaching programme; Awaken the inner values of students; Renew and complete course instructors' personal and professional growth; Students' learning process difficulties; Technological inconvenience; Restrictions in interpersonal interactions and mindfulness activities practices. The speaker will also share some suggestions for future online EI courses. This study represents only a portion of the research on EI courses. However, it is hoped that the evaluation of an online EI would attract greater interest.
