Assessing Emotional Intelligence
This weeks blog is about assessing young children. I have decided to research the emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence has been described as the ability to perceive and express emotions to understand and use them, also foster personal growth through controlling emotions. (Salovey, Bedell, Detueler and Mayer, 2000,). Through social intelligence you should be able to perceive, appraise and express emotions. Access and generate feelings when they facilitate understanding. Understand affect-laden information and make use of emotional knowledge. Regulate emotions to show intellectual growth and well being. Emotional intelligence affects performance, physical health, mental health and relationships. I feel teaching a child emotional intelligence will be the responsibility of the parents as well as the teacher assisting in the assessing.
South Africa
In South Africa the government there has begun what is called an "Action Plan to 2014: Towards the Realization of Schooling" it is the government's newest strategy for turning around education in that country. They have created a new curriculum which its main focus is literacy and numeracy. The program Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) will provide particular guidelines to streamline what is taught in schools the goal being to close the divide between well resourced and poor schools. They are also going to use standardized assessments of grades, third, sixth, and ninth to better track its progress, placing an emphasis on early child development.
