Mechnikov National University, Ukraine (UA) Understanding Emotional Intelligence in Education Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one\u2019s own emotions as well as those of others. In the educational context, EI plays a crucial role in social interaction, learning motivation, conflict resolution, and psychological well-being. The article \u201cEmotional Intelligence of Schoolchildren in the Educational Process\u201d explores how teachers can identify and nurture these emotional abilities through everyday observation \u2014 without the need for formal psychometric instruments. Study Overview The research is based on a questionnaire survey of 120 Ukrainian primary school teachers, most with significant classroom experience. Data were collected both electronically and in person. Using methods of analysis, generalization, ranking, and frequency statistics, the authors sought to systematize teacher observations of emotional behaviors, interpersonal skills, and adaptive responses among students. Although the study focuses on a single central region of Ukraine, the authors note that its findings offer a representative perspective and can serve as a basis for broader future research. Main Findings The authors identified several core components of emotional intelligence and described their relationships with other psychological traits. Through the teachers\u2019 responses, they classified observable markers of EI that can be used in everyday school practice. Key findings include: Theoretical and Practical Implications The article adopts a theoretical and analytical approach, drawing on both sociological data and psychological theory. It emphasizes that teachers play a diagnostic and developmental role in fostering emotional intelligence.

They suggest expanding the research across different regions and educational levels to confirm and enrich the findings. Conclusion The research confirms that emotional intelligence is observable, measurable, and developable within the natural educational process. Teachers, through mindful observation and reflective practice, can become powerful agents in nurturing EI \u2014 ultimately enhancing students\u2019 social competence, self-regulation, and emotional well-being.
