Abstract
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the effectiveness of advanced training courses for teachers aimed at developing emotional intelligence, as well as to assess their impact on the professional growth of teachers and improve practical skills in managing emotions and interpersonal relationships in an educational environment.
The study was conducted using diagnostic and final testing, as well as feedback from course participants. Diagnostic testing was conducted before the start of the course to assess the initial level of knowledge about emotional intelligence, and final testing was conducted at the end of the course to measure changes in the level of knowledge. Feedback from the trainees was used to assess the satisfaction with the courses and their perception.
The test results showed a statistically significant improvement in the level of teachers' knowledge about emotional intelligence after completing the course. Diagnostic testing revealed that initially a significant part of the teachers lacked basic information on this topic. The final testing demonstrated a significant increase in awareness and understanding of the concepts of emotional intelligence. Feedback from the course participants confirms the positive perception of the material and its practical significance for professional activity.
The refresher course has demonstrated its high effectiveness in improving teachers' knowledge of emotional intelligence and their practical skills in managing emotions and interpersonal relationships. The results of the study emphasize the importance of including emotional intelligence topics in educational programs for teachers, which contributes to their professional growth and improving the quality of the educational process.
