The purpose of this study is to develop EQ module to help improve emotional intelligence among teachers. The study utilized explanatory mixed methods designs, and has three phases. The first phase employed a cross-sectional design (n=112) and it examines the core-competencies of EQ among the teachers. The second phase utilized a case study design, and used in-depth interview (n=8), focus-group interview (n=24), as well as document analysis (n= 12 documents) as data collection techniques. These techniques were used to determine the appropriate methods can be used to develop the EQ module based on the core-competencies identified from the first phase of the study. Data for the first phase was collected using an EQ instrument (IKEM/MEQI), and was analyzed with descriptive statistic using the SPSS software version 15.0. Data from the second phase was analyzed with thematic approach using the NVivo 2 and NVivo 7 software. Findings from the first phase of the study shows that there are 11 EQ core- competencies that needed intervention (emotioanal awareness, accurate self-assessment, self confidence, honesty, self- controll, trustworthiness, achievement drive, andertanding others, developing others, influence and conflict managemet) among the teachers. Concomitantly, findings from the second phase suggested that there are certain methods, corresponding to each core-competencies, that can be used to improve the level of EQ among the teachers. Results from both phases were used to develop an EQ module that was pilot tested on a group of teachers (n=33). The module consisted of four sections and was conducted over a period of four days. Findings from the pilot study suggested an increase in EQ level among teachers who participated in the training workshop. The result of the study showed that there were improvements on those 11 EQ competencies. Interview conducted on the participants shows that the training was able to: (i) increase positive feelings towards self, (ii) increase awareness on changes experience by the self, (iii) behave more positively, and (iv) developed deeper understanding on issues related to emotion.

Abstract. Background: Cultivating positive feelings of self in relationships with others can affect perceptions of belongingness and burdensomeness. Aims: The present study examines the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Method: Participants were 481 college students who completed scales measuring self-compassion, hope, emotional control, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Results: Correlation and parallel mediation analysis results show relationships between self-compassion, hope, and emotional control with perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation. Limitations: The study is limited by its cross-sectional design, sample demographics, and inability to distinguish between individuals with suicidal ideation and those who attempt suicide. Conclusion: The results show that the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation are worth further investigation.

Introduction. Movies can be used in public health pedagogy to illustrate concepts and build students’ connection to the material. This study describes the perspectives of undergraduates and faculty on effective strategies for using movies to achieve key public health learning outcomes. Method. In this cross-sectional study, a survey was administered to undergraduate majors in health studies ( n = 109) and faculty who teach health-related courses ( n = 27). The survey included measures of usage and attitudes toward pedagogical applications of movies, which were informed by Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals. Results. Students and faculty expressed favorable attitudes toward the use of movies in undergraduate public health education. Additionally, both groups endorsed the usefulness of movies for affective and cognitive learning outcomes, with appraisals of affective learning being significantly higher. Movies were most frequently applied to building the core public health competencies of analyzing public health issues, communicating effectively, relationship building, and cultural competency. Among students, 74% stated that watching health-related movies reinforced their current career trajectory, encouraged them to consider other careers, or changed their choice of career. Discussion. Preparation of the future public health workforce requires students to develop both cognitive skills and an emotional connection to efforts that address health-related challenges. The findings of this study indicate that movies support both types of learning outcomes and therefore deserve further investigation as pedagogical tool in population health instruction.

Abstract Background Self-assessment and self-directed learning are essential to becoming an effective physician. Objective To identify factors associated with resident self-assessment on the competencies, and to determine whether residents chose areas of self-assessed relative weakness as areas for improvement in their Individualized Learning Plan (ILP). Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the American Academy of Pediatrics' PediaLink ILP database. Pediatrics residents self-assessed their competency in the 6 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies using a color-coded slider scale with end anchors “novice” and “proficient” (0–100), and then chose at least 1 competency to improve. Multivariate regression explored the relationship between overall confidence in core competencies, sex, level of training, and degree (MD or DO) status. Correlation examined whether residents chose to improve competencies in which they rated themselves as lower. Results A total of 4167 residents completed an ILP in academic year 2009–2010, with residents' ratings improving from advanced beginner (48 on a 0–100 scale) in postgraduate year-1 residents (PGY-1s) to competent (75) in PGY-3s. Residents rated themselves as most competent in professionalism (mean, 75.3) and least competent in medical knowledge (mean, 55.8) and systems-based practice (mean, 55.2). In the adjusted regression model, residents' competency ratings increased by level of training and whether they were men. In PGY-3s, there was no difference between men and women. Residents selected areas for improvement that correlated to competencies where they had rated themselves lower (P &lt; .01). Conclusion Residents' self-assessment of their competencies increased by level of training, although residents rated themselves as least competent in medical knowledge and systems-based practice, even as PGY-3s. Residents tended to choose subcompetencies, which they rated as lower to focus on improving.

Resumen:Diversos estudios muestran la importancia de formar a los futuros maestros, tanto en la adquisición de una clara conciencia emocional, como en la reflexión de su propia tarea docente. Mediante una metodología cuantitativa, y más concretamente a partir de un diseño transversal, en nuestro trabajo se pretende evaluar el nivel de inteligencia emocional (atención, claridad y reparación emocional) de los maestros en formación inicial y analizar la relación existente entre el rendimiento académico y la inteligencia emocional en una muestra constituida por 500 estudiantes de los Grados de Maestro en Educación Primaria y Maestro en Educación Infantil de la Facultad de Educación de Badajoz de la Universidad de Extremadura (España) mediante el test de autoinforme TMMS-24 de Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos (2004). Los resultados encontrados permitieron afirmar que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de claridad y reparación emocional según el sexo y en el nivel de inteligencia emocional según el Grado en el que se encuentran matriculados los futuros maestros y según el itinerario realizado en el último curso universitario. Además, encontramos una relación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre el nivel de inteligencia emocional de los maestros en formación inicial y su rendimiento académico universitario. Abstract:Several studies show the importance of educating future teachers, both in acquiring a clear emotional awareness and reflection of their own teaching. The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the level of emotional intelligence (care, emotional clarity and repair) that teachers in Initial Teacher Training have. Furthermore, an analysis of the relationship between academic achievement and emotional intelligence will be carried out. The methodology employed is quantitative, specifically a cross-sectional design. The sample analyzed consists of 500 students of the Degree in Primary Education and Degree in Nursery Education in the Faculty of Education (Badajoz) at the University of Extremadura (Spain). The main tool used is the self-test TMMS-24 (Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera & Ramos, 2004). Results support the conclusion that there are statistically significant differences in the level of clarity and emotional repair depending on the gender as well as differences in the level of emotional intelligence depending on the degree they study and the specialty they are enrolled in. Finally, we found a positive and statistically significant relationship between the level of emotional intelligence of teachers in initial teacher training and their academic performance.
