Abstract:
Developing emotional capital among school children belongs to the new challenges of education to allow education and development for all as to cope effectively with emotions and pressure at work and in the new and competitive economy and challenge also low GDP countries as Pakistan. A case study of emotional capital development program’s effects has been set up and assessed on primary school children, in Pakistan in this research.
Context:
A well trained labour force to support sustainable development in western countries is underlined as the future crucial role of education; not only general and technical knowledge but more and more behavior skills are required. Low GDP countries as Pakistan are also exposed to such challenges as responding to an expanding social demand of democratization of education at the same time. Especially, to allow development for all, social competences, behaviour or psychosocial skills or also called emotional competencies... become more and more crucial, a real capital for further education and the lifelong learning perspective
Theoretical framework
Neither the emotions nor the problems associated with the emotions are new but the idea of emotional intelligence is comparatively new. The Emotional intelligence stress that the problem is not with emotionality but it lies that how it is dealt with. An emotional competency is a learned capability based on emotional intelligence. From the standpoint of emotional capital (Gendron, 2008), Pr Gendron looks the emotional competencies as resources, potentially contributing to cognitive, personal, social, and economical development of the person.
