Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Since it has been proved by various studies that emotional intelligence is playing an important role in the success of persons without disability, but what about persons with disability? Is emotional intelligence also influence success of persons with disability. Before that we have to know in which type of school settings’ students are more emotionally intelligence i.e. inclusive setting or exclusive setting. Keeping these things in mind we tried to know the emotional intelligence of visually impaired adolescents studying in inclusive and exclusive setting. This study has taken on a sample of 120 visually impaired adolescent students (60 Boys and 60 Girls), equally from both the setting i.e. 30 boys and 30 girls form inclusive setting and same sample from exclusive setting. Results of the study shows there exist no significant difference in emotional intelligence of visual impaired boys and girls first in inclusive and then in exclusive setting. Also, visual impaired girls of inclusive and exclusive setting show no significant difference in their emotional intelligence. But visual impaired boys of inclusive and exclusive setting show significant difference in their emotional intelligence. Boys in inclusive setting have more emotional intelligence than their counterparts. Same is the case with all the visual impaired adolescents in inclusive setting i.e. visual impaired adolescents in inclusive setting have more emotional intelligence than visual impaired adolescents in exclusive setting. As the study reveals sex doesn’t play significant role in the development of emotional intelligence, so there should be inclusive education setup to provide educational stimulation irrespective of sex so as to help develop personality of students in a harmonious way.
