GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) came into the scientific literature in 1990. Since that time, after more than thirty years later, EI has been established as a major new idea in psychology and education indeed, with an impressive number of scientific and popular books, papers and conferences around the world claiming its importance for everyday life.
Broadly, EI is a multifaceted trait to perceive, express, use, understand and manage both own and others emotions. Nowadays, developments in the research area of EI have provided a sound support for the building of a new kind of education called emotional education. Nevertheless, progress in that direction requires a clear and coherent theory-based conceptualization of EI, reliable and valid assessment instruments, and cautious steps to translate basic research into effective practical interventions.
This course is relevant to those with an interest in future education. As the society, the education and the employment scenes are continuously changing -requiring new and more advanced competencies-, the Faculty of Education at UNED has adjusted its offerings to meet the new needs of graduates and society. Education graduates can gain competitive advantage by acquiring greater knowledge and competence to discriminate between science and fiction in this area.
According to James Heckman, Nobel Laureate in Economics, we often have a bias toward believing that only cognitive ability is of fundamental importance to success in life, but investments in emotional education contribute to the quality and productivity of the workforce and the progress of people and countries by increasing self-control, empathy, social competence and motivation.
ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS
This course is completely delivered and assessed through the medium of the English language. So, competence in English language is required for all students of this course. It is expected that students who enroll in this course hold a B2 certificate or an equivalent level of competence. Accreditation will not be required, nevertheless all students should be proficient enough in this language, in order to read the materials, engage in the discussions and complete the assessment tests.

Specifically, regarding the Bachelor of Social Education, this course is closely related to the subject Socioeducational Mediation (i.e., Mediación Socioeducativa) and Socioeducational intervention in various settings (i.e., Intervención socioeducativa en diversos contextos). Nonetheless, since this course is part of the subject 8, namely, Assessment and Pedagogical Research (i.e., Evaluación e investigación pedagógica) of the Degree, it directly contributes to the following specific competencies of that subject: To evaluate centres, plans, programs, projects, actions and educational and training resources (i.e., Evaluar centros, planes, programas, proyectos, acciones y recursos educativos y formativos); To counsel about the pedagogical use and curricular integration of the didactic means (i.e., Asesorar sobre el uso pedagógico e integración curricular de los medios didácticos); To identify educational approaches and problems, and to investigate on them (i.e., Identificar planteamientos y problemas educativos, e indagar sobre ellos: obtener, registrar, tratar e interpretar información relevante para emitir juicios argumentados que permitan mejorar la práctica educativa); To conduct prospective and evaluative studies about the pedagogical characteristics, needs and demands (i.e., Realizar estudios prospectivos y evaluativos sobre las características, necesidades y demandas pedagógicas).
Likewise, this optional course is mainly connected to the following compulsory courses of the Degree: Assessment in social education (i.e., Diagnóstico en educación social); Techniques and instruments for collecting data (i.e., Técnicas e instrumentos para la recogida de información); Programs evaluation (i.e., Evaluación de programas).
With regard to the Bachelor of Pedagogy, this course is closely related to the subject 8, namely, Educational assessment and research (i.e., Evaluación e investigación pedagógica). According to this relationship, this course may contribute to the following specific competencies: To assess developmental possibilities and needs of persons, in order to base educational actions (i.e., Diagnosticar las necesidades y posibilidades de desarrollo de las personas para fundamentar las acciones educativas); To develop strategies and techniques to promote the participation and life span learning (i.e., Desarrollar estrategias y técnicas para promover la participación y el aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida).
Finally, this course is mainly connected to the following compulsory courses of the Degree: Pedagogical assessment (i.e., Diagnóstico pedagógico); Psychopedagogical counselling and intervention (i.e., Orientación e intervención psicopedagógica). Moreover, this course is also connected to the optional course of Assessment and education of gifted (i.e., Diagnóstico y educación de los más capaces).
Finally, this course is also closely related to the basic course of Learning Bases and Education (i.e., Bases del aprendizaje y educación), located in Year 1 of both Bachelor of Social Education and Bachelor of Pedagogy.

Assessment is by means of two continuous assessment tests (PECs): off-line writing examination composed by short questions (PEC1) + off-line essay focused on the critical analysis of an specific paper, study, or key issue (PEC2). Any student must send their PEC1 plus PEC2 via aLF's "Entrega de Tareas" app. The final grade in the course will be calculated as the mean between the two scores previously obtained in PEC1 and PEC2. In order to pass the course, the minimum required level of final grade is a point average of 1 (5.00). A student will be required to withdraw in the following extraordinary call (September) if the final grade in June is below 1 (<5.00). The assessment in the extraordinary call (September) will consist of two parallel forms of PEC1 and PEC2. For the extraordinary call, the PEC1 plus PEC2 are both due on the last Friday before the beginning of the September week of exams at UNED. |
