Abstract
The relationship between academic intelligence and emotional intelligence (EI) is essential for the success of first year college students. This research proposal reviews the literature on the teaching and learning of students in first year seminar type courses. Goleman’s (2001) 2x2 emotional competencies model of EI predicts recognition and regulation of self and other. The ability to recognize and regulate one’s emotions enhances student’s academic performance. The main purpose of the research study is to generate hypotheses about the measurement of emotional intelligence as it complements GPA.
