Emotional Intelligence: Implications for Educational Practice in Schools

David W. Chan

Abstract

With the growing interest in the concept of emotional intelligence, an overview was provided through exploring the emergence of the concept in Western thought, the precursors to emotional intelligence in the context of nontraditional views of intelligence, and the recent theorizing by Mayer and Salovey and by Goleman. Educational implications for the development of social and emotional learning programs are discussed to provide insights into the realization of whole-person development in recent education reform in Hong Kong.

Keywords: emotional intelligence; social and emotional learning; whole-person development
