Education and development of emotional intelligence impact on cultural sensitivity

Abstract

This article explores the complex relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and cultural sensitivity in the context of education. Emotional intelligence, which encompasses skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotion regulation is recognized as a crucial factor in shaping individuals’ cultural sensitivity in educational settings. This article aims to demonstrate the implications of emotional intelligence for promoting cultural sensitivity in educational settings, and its implications for promoting inclusive and effective education, through a review of the existing literature and empirical evidence.
