Pedagogical Activity 2: Emotional Intelligence in Remote Teaching and Learning
Hosting university: Universidade de Lisboa
March 24th, 10.00-13.00 (CET)
“Emotional Intelligence in Remote Teaching and Learning” focuses on using Emotional Intelligence to improve the quality of Remote Teaching and Learning. Self-awareness, self-regulation, other regulation and empathy will be concepts to explore within the boundaries of Emotional Intelligence with an effort to understand how these concepts apply and can be useful in remote teaching and learning. The centrality of this concept when it comes to teaching and learning in higher education and the challenges it poses both to teachers and students will be considered and translated into a set of guidelines regarding the engagement of students during remote class activities.
This workshop will have three activities: one in the beginning using a white board, for introduction and definition of the Emotional Intelligence concept and a second one, in the middle of the workday, using simultaneous rooms to explore applications of concepts in the preparatory, class and assessment contexts in order to improve student’s motivation and engagement.
A successful learner will:
● Understand the definition of the Emotional Intelligence concept, as well as its four dominant aspects: self-awareness, self-regulation, other regulation and empathy;
● Be able to apply the Emotional Intelligence concept during classes both in the preparation, running and assessment phases, in order to increase student’s engagement in the proposed activities;
● Develop pedagogical approaches which promote an open minded and appreciative attitude towards the emotional life both of the self (teachers) and of the students, in order to increase motivation and wellbeing for both during teaching & learning activities.
Target groups and prerequisites:
Teachers, lecturers and faculty who teach by using theoretical approaches, problems and lab classes.
