ANALYZING STUDENTS’ EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL SKILLS THROUGH DIGITAL DIAGNOSTICS
Abstract
This study explores the role of digital diagnostics in assessing students’ emotional intelligence (EI) and social skills. Emotional intelligence, comprising self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, is crucial for students’ academic success and interpersonal development. The integration of digital diagnostic tools allows educators to collect real-time, objective data on students’ emotional and social competencies, providing insights for personalized interventions. By leveraging technology, schools can enhance assessment accuracy, track developmental progress, and promote socio-emotional learning in a systematic, data-driven manner.
