Hello Everyone,
This is the summary for the month of August for this project. Since we just started, there is not a lot to report. However, since I have had an interest in emotional intelligence and its impact on learning, I have been doing some preliminary research on the topic. I have located several good journal articles and studies, which includes a 2012 SIU school of medicine study on the impact of emotional intelligence in cognitive learning. Another study was conducted in 2010 which connected emotional intelligence and the coping and exam related stress in undergraduates. A third study (also in 2010) addresses the issues of Parental behaviors on emotional intelligence development and adjustment problems in young people.
The goal of the research is to prepare for an upcoming presentation on the subject to a learning conference in November. Along with the issues of emotional intelligence development will be a discussion about healthy relationships that foster the development of emotional intelligence.
I am looking forward to digging into this topic and gathering the research necessary.
Very good, Dan! Bo
ReplyDeleteI spent the first month doing a lot of preliminary research as well, which I believe proved to be very helpful to me throughout the semester. Especially once the semester really got going and I was finding that I did not have as much time to devote to my studies, it was nice having majority of my research already completed.

I think doing research before hand is a very smart idea. It lets you know if you are really interested in pursuing the topic or not. While I am definitely interested in my topic, I am not sure I will accomplish what I set out to accomplish or not. In the future I will take your approach.
