STUDENTS’ EMOTIONAL LITERACY IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE CONTEMPORARY SCHOOL IN SERBIA

Abstract

Te results of the research on the emotional literacy of students are presented in this paper. Te primary goal of the research was to examine the general level and characteristics of the emotional literacy profle. Te secondary goal was to determine the similarities and differences in levels of emotional literacy between pupils in relation to their gender and age. “Emotional awareness questionnaire” was used on the sample of 335 students of both sexes and two age groups (primary school pupils aged 14-15 years and high school students of 18-19 year). Te research was descriptive, nonexperimental and exploratory. Te data obtained by the study were analyzed using the statistical package SPSS. Te results of statistical descriptions of the empirical profle suggest that the general level of students’ emotional literacy can be classifed as average. Analyzes of differences related to gender and age on individual profle components, showed that the gender differences were statistically signifcant (p<.001) on all components (“emotional numbness,” “empathy” and “interactivity”), while age differences were signifcant on the components: “differentiation of emotions” and “empathy” (p<.001). Te obtained fndings were discussed in the context of the starting reference model of research. Recommended and needed future steps are the pedagogical monitoring of emotional development of young people, systematic influence on the development of their emotional competences and a far more active role of the school in the development of the emotional literacy of both students and teachers.
