THE ROLE OF MINDFULNESS IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS' EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Summary/Abstract: In an increasingly demanding academic environment, the development of students' emotional intelligence is essential for both educational and personal success. Mindfulness, defined as a state of present-moment and non-reactive awareness, plays a crucial role in emotional self-regulation, improving focus, and enhancing interpersonal relationships. This paper examines the impact of mindfulness on emotional intelligence, drawing on Daniel Goleman’s model and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques. Goleman’s model outlines five essential elements: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social competencies, all of which can be cultivated through mindfulness exercises. NLP techniques, such as emotional anchoring and cognitive reframing, contribute to better emotional management and improved communication. The paper also focuses on the benefits of mindfulness in higher education, including stress reduction, increased mental clarity, and enhanced academic performance. Furthermore, it supports the development of empathy and social relationships, fostering a more harmonious educational environment. Integrating mindfulness into higher education offers an effective strategy for both students and teachers. The study highlights practical ways to apply mindfulness in education while addressing the challenges of its implementation. The conclusions emphasize the importance of an approach that combines cognitive and emotional development, promoting a more conscious and balanced learning experience.
