Petrin osvrt na radionice emocionalne inteligencije

 

Throughout the past semester I held workshops with the high school students in Slava Raškaj on the topic of emotional intelligence. The start of the workshops was quite difficult for the students as the concept of emotional intelligence itself was a new one they were being introduced to. My biggest challenge revolved around exploring ways to intrigue the students and win their attention on what to them may initially seem an abstract topic. Over time, the students started to feel more comfortable. They slowly became more open to the content we were covering. We discussed what emotional intelligence is, it's relevance to the students' lives, the 5 main categories of emotional intelligence, emotions, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence in the work place, empathy, characteristics of individuals with high emotional intelligence and growth mindset. At the end of the workshops I noticed an improvement in the students' understanding of the concept in the way they were able to participate in discussions. 

 

Tijekom proteklog semestra sam održala radionice na temu emocionalne inteligencije za srednjoškolce u centru za odgoj i obrazovanje „Slave Raškaj“. Početni dio radionica je učenicima bio prilično zahtjevan za njih jer je taj koncept za njih bio potpuno novi. Moj je najveći izazov bio pridobiti pažnju i pobuditi interes učenika za temu koja im se na početku doimala apstraktnom. S vremenom su se učenici počeli osjećati ugodnije. Malo po malo su postajali otvoreniji za sadržaje koje su radionice obuhvaćale. Razgovarali smo o tome što je emocionalna inteligencija, njezinoj važnosti i relevantnosti za njihov život, 5 glavnih kategorija emocionalne inteligencije, emocijama, konfliktnim situacijama, emocionalnoj inteligenciji u poslovnom okruženju, osobine osoba s visoko razvijenom emocionalnom inteligencijom i mentalnom sklopu rasta. Pred kraj radionica sam primijetila napredak u učeničkom razumijevanju pojma emocionalne inteligencije u načinu na koji su sudjelovali u razgovorima.
