TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS IN RELATION TO EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND MATURITY OF INSTITUTIONS AMONG B.ED STUDENT

Schools and teachers had more responsibilities in molding the character of students. The teacher was expected to play multidimensional role. So present study was conducted to investigate the impact of Emotional Intelligence on Teacher Effectiveness of B.Ed interns. B.Ed students studying in colleges with 5-10 years of establishment and colleges with 15-20 years of establishment were selected as sample of study. Teacher Effectiveness Scale(TES) by Kumar and .Mutha, Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) by Hyde , Pethe and Dhar were used to measure Teacher Effectiveness and Emotional Intelligence .After analysis it was found that students studying in colleges with 5-10 years of establishment and 15-20 years of establishment were found to exhibit different levels of Teacher effectiveness. It was also found that high emotional intelligence contributes to teacher effectiveness consistently in both the categories of institutions viz 5-10 years of establishment and 15-20 years of establishment, with one observation that in case of high emotional intelligence and average emotional intelligent students, maturity of institutions did not play any role with respect to teacher effectiveness But in case of low emotional intelligence teacher effectiveness was found to be higher in case of institutions with 5-10 years of establishment than in institutions with 15-20 years of establishment .
