Teachers‘ characteristics such as school type, qualification, experience, and gender were also explored/studied to provide insight on teachers‘ emotional intelligence and their classroom management approaches. This study used quantitative research method and correlation research design. Data was collected through survey design. Two questionnaires were designed, one for teachers‘ emotional intelligence and the second for classroom management. The population of this study was 527 secondary school teachers from both (public and private) sectors. To analyze the data SPSS, t-test, ANOVA, regression, and correlation were used.
The findings indicated that Emotional intelligence and student-centered classroom management have also been shown to be significantly correlated in this study. There is a somewhat favorable, significant, and positive correlation between secondary school teachers' emotional intelligence scores and their student-centered classroom management strategies. For managing a classroom that is student-centered, EI is extremely valuable. In light of this, it can be claimed that secondary school teachers will favor or implement student-centered classroom management to a larger extent the higher their EI levels are.
This study concluded that teachers who have greater levels of emotional intelligence (EI) are better able to regulate and manage their emotions, which improves their classroom management abilities and helps them to build more trustworthy connections with students. Being emotionally in control is being aware of both one's own feelings and those of others.
