Book excerpt: Children's exposure to undesirable and confusing social messages from their soci ety, has led to an increase in violence and poor self- concept among children in schools (Doty, 2001). A large body of research is encouraging teaching children to solve problems and make decisions in interpersonal relations to avoid resort ing to antisocial behavior. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of the Social Decision- Making Skills Curriculum (SDMSC) on the emotional intelligence and the prosocial behaviors of primary students in Grades 1- 3, in a private sc hool in Lebanon. The students will be trained in social problem- solving and social decision- mak ing skills through the implementation of the SDMSC. It was hypothesized that the re will be a significant difference in emotional intelligence and prosocial skil ls, respectively, between students (Grades 1 ? 3), who have been trained in soci al decision- making and problem- solving skills using the SDMSC, and those who h ave not been trained in these skills. The participants for this study were a tot al number of 80 students (29 students in the experimental group and 51 students in the control group). The SDMSC will be implemented in classrooms to students i n the experimental group. A rating scale from this curriculum was used to determ ine the students' strengths in social decision- making and social- problem- solving skills (Elias and Clabby, 1989). The subjects' emot ional intelligence was assessed using the Bar- On Emotional Inventory: Youth Ver sion and Parker, 2000a). Following a nine- week training in the Social Decision- Making (Bar-On) Skills Curriculum, ANCOVA results showed that there were signif icant differences in the emotional intelligence and prosocial skills of children in the experimental group, as compared to those in the control group.

The frequency of appropriate positive behavior s and inappropriate negative behaviors were measured by a behavioral observation checklist that was adapted from EQ rubric for assessment in Self-Science Curric ulum and the lessons to be taught from Self-Science Curriculum. The qualitative data was gathered using: open-ended evaluation response forms, informal teacher s' interviews, and students' emotional writing journals. The experimental group (n=18) received training in emotional intelligence skills through 30 sessions from Self-Science Curriculum, while control group (n=18) co ntinued instruction in their existing program of Homeroom time. The results of ANOVA conducted on the pre-training scores showed that the two gr oups were significantly different in average number of appropriate positive beha viors before exposing experimental group to the training in Self-Science Curricu lum. Therefore, ANCOVA was used in analyzing the posttest scores. ANOVA was us ed in analyzing the pre-training and post-training scores of the Bar-On EQ-i: YV . The results showed a significant increase in the average number of appropriate p ositive behaviors after exposing the experimental group to the training in Self- Science Curriculum. However, the results did not show a significant decrease in the average number of inappropriate negative behaviors after exposing the exper imental group to the training in Self-Science Curriculum, in comparison to the c ontrol group. Moreover, the scores on the Bar-On EQ-i: YV remained nearly the s ame for both groups. The qualitative data was analyzed by looking for patterns in the responses of the students, parents, and teachers, all of ...

Download or read book Daniel Goleman Omnibus written by Daniel Goleman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

Download or read book Taking Stock of Programs to Develop Socioemotional Skills written by María Laura Sanchez-Puerta and published by Directions in Development. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a systematic review of the documented impacts of programs aimed at fostering socio-emotional skills in developed and developing countries. It uses a life-cycle approach to organize the findings from rigorous evaluations of more than 80 programs. This includes programs for toddlers and young children before primary school, programs for students enrolled in formal education, and programs targeted at the out-of-school population. The book develops a conceptual framework that helps to identify the program characteristics and participants' profiles associated with a range of program outcomes. These include health-related, behavioral, academic or cognitive, and economic-related outcomes. The review finds that few of the programs studied focus exclusively on the development of socio-emotional skills. In fact, most efforts to develop socio-emotional skills are embedded within innovative education and training curricula, as well as pedagogical and classroom practices. Evidence shows that programs are particularly effective when targeted to highly vulnerable populations and, in particular, to young children. Overall, findings indicate that high-quality programs for young children tend to foster cognitive abilities in the short run and to impact socio-emotional skills over the long run. Programs for students enrolled in formal education (primary and secondary levels) show positive and significant impacts on the outcomes reviewed. The most successful of these programs are implemented school-wide and follow the SAFE approach: that is, they are appropriately sequenced, active, focused, and explicit. Finally, the review finds that programs for out-of-school children and youth are usually designed as a means of achieving immediate labor market outcomes (e.g., job-placement, formal employment, and higher wages). While some of these programs show positive and statistically significant impacts on socio-emotional skills, the impacts tend to be small.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preschool children in public school programs are expelled at three times the rate of their K-12 peers. Research demonstrates a decreased emphasis on social-emotional skill development in preschool, despite high incidences of problem behaviors. The present study investigated the effectiveness of a commercially available social skills curriculum on preschoolers' social-emotional development, specifically their pro-social behaviors and emotion recognition. Results showed that students who participated in the social skills curriculum increased prosocial skills and ability to visually recognize emotions in others. While statistical measures indicate that the intervention did not have a statistically significant impact on student emotion recognition and prosocial behavior, anecdotal reports from participating teachers indicated that the intervention was highly beneficial to participating students. Further, the curriculum had a high level of treatment acceptability by participants' teachers. Implications regarding social emotional curriculum and preschool students' prosocial skill and emotion recognition development are provided.

Download or read book A Manual of Activities for Enhancing Interpersonal and Cross cultural Skills Among Lebanese Elementary School Students written by Rihab Abdul Kader Sidani and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary school counselors are in an excellent position to implement intervent ion strategies that help children develop the types of cognitive, emotional, and social skills necessary for students to live productive and satisfying lives in a pluralistic and diverse society like the Lebanese society. One of the major d evelopmental challenges students will face involves learning to get along with i ndividuals who look, act, and think differently from themselves. They should lea rn to accept, respect and empathize with others regardless of their culture, gen der, religion and values. Consequently, students should learn interpersonal effe ctiveness skills and cross-cultural effectiveness skills. Empathy is considered a fundamental concept in enhancing interpersonal and cross -cultural skills. Empathy allows the students to understand the perspectives and feelings of others, to sense a violation of justice, to develop caring attitude s, and to better distinguish right from wrong. Empathy can be developed in eleme ntary students through story telling, role playing, images and photographs, and cooperative activities. Moreover, research suggests that empathy is not only imp ortant for students to get along with each other, but also for teachers who need to have this quality in order to model it to students. Consequently, the purpose of this project is to develop a manual of emotional- intelligence based activities for Grade 1, 2, and 3 and activities for teachers to promote interpersonal and cross-cultural effectiveness skills. In addition to the activities, the manual will include theoretical background that supports my objectives, rationale and purpose.
