Emotional Intelligence and Effective Online Teaching

by evaerskine

I am interested in writing my dissertation on EI and effective online teaching. What I was planning to do is compare the end-of-course evaluations with individual EQ scores from the Bar-On EQi assessment.

Everyone's reaction to this research is that it is a great idea. The dilemma is that I can't get permission to look at end-of-course evaluations in order to correlate the individual data.

Does anyone have any ideas for me. What else do you think I could use if I can't use confidential course evaluations?

(In addition to a full time HR Director position and two part-time positions at two different graduate schools in Chicago, I am working on my PhD at Walden University.)

Thanks for your help.

Controlling for Use of Tech

This sounds off the topic, but isn't your bigger problem trying to control for growth in technical intelligence while studying growth in emotional intelligence? Simply through time-on-task, technical skill increases as the student proceeds through the online course. I should think success in the course is correlated to some degree with successful use of technology. If you plan on using final course evaluations perhaps you will need to test tech skill pre/post also? Depending on the course content and delivery method, success in the course would likely influence measures of EI.

Did I understand the problem correctly?

Is your problem is access to the students final exam grade? Did I understand it correctly? If this is your problem, maybe I can help. And is it important for you that students should study online?
