STUDENT Surekha Bhagyawant , Ph.D, P.G. Dept. of Education S.N.D.T. University, Pune We all expect teacher for our kids should be competent and cool. It is teacher educat or who helps teacher to develop himself/herself like that. So it is obvious that the teacher educator herself should be enough competent and having normal and well developed personality. Our M.Ed. students who are would be teacher educator and we expect th em to be a good teacher educator in future. But just expectations are not enough; we should test them and help them wherever there is need. For that purpose the researcher who is a teacher educator thought of testing own students for emotional competence a nd neurotic tendency, as both of these characteristics matters a lot specially in teacher education as their students will be working with future teachers. And we all know that students imitate & behave like what they observe rather than what they hear ab out. The researcher worked on the sample of 30 students. Gave them ‘Emotional Competence Scale’ and “KNPI’ (Kundu’s Neurotic Personality Inventory) to solve and found out correlation between these two attributes. More than 50 % students were ‘average' in Emotional Competence; 37 % were ‘competent’ and 10% students were ‘incompetent’. And only 20 % students were ‘normal’; 60 % students were ‘slightly neurotic’ and 20 % were ‘moderately neurotic’There was no significant correlation between ‘Emotional Compe tence’ and ‘Neurotic Tendency’ of M. Ed. students. So the conclusion which is limited to the sample group is neurotic tendency and emotional competence are two separate and independent factor not having relation between them.
