Emotional Intelligence - Dr. James Parker
Today, I attended a lunchtime seminar on "Why Good Students Fail?". It was more of a research results presentation; but essentially, the researcher found that first year post secondary students succeed or fail based on their Emotional Intelligence. He has found that 40% of post secondary students remain in post secondary education until graduation and that grades from high school are not predictors of success in post secondary education. The researcher is Dr. James Parker from Trent University.
It was interesting to hear some research about EI as it relates to post secondary education since I've been reading about it's effect on leadership qualities.
