_______________________________________________________________
This study sought to determine the level of emotional intelligence of the
public secondary school teachers SY 2015-2016. Specifically Problem No. 1
focused on the profile of the respondents which included profile variables
namely: age, civil status, highest educational attainment, length of service and
relevant trainings attended. Problem No. 2 dealt with the level of emotional
intelligence of the respondents in the aspects of: self-awareness, work
satisfaction, emotional expressions, compassion, personal power and integrity.
Problem No. 4 focused on the significant relationship between the teachers
perception of their emotional intelligence and the selected profile variables:
highest educational attainment and length of service.

There is no significant relationship between the level of emotional

intelligence of the public secondary school teachers and the selected profile
variables namely: highest educational attainment and length of service.
The following is the summary of the salient findings of the study: The
teacher respondents are within the age bracket of 21 36 years old above,
dominantly married, pursuing graduate studies, with 6 10 years length of
service and have attended trainings from district to national level; The level of
emotional intelligence of the respondents is generally very high as indicated by
the grand overall weighted mean 4.30 equivalent to very high with item on
compassion having the highest weighted mean of 4.57 and item on personal
power having the lowest weighted mean of 4.10; The null hypothesis of no
significant difference between the teachers perception of their emotional
intelligence across the profile variables is accepted at .05 level of significance;
The null hypothesis on the significant relationship between the teachers
perception of their emotional intelligence across the profile variables namely:
highest educational attainment, length of service and relevant trainings attended
is accepted.

In the light of the findings of the study, the following conclusions were
drawn: The profile variables of the public secondary school teachers are
adequate enough to qualify them in the teaching profession. Their personal and
professional qualities will contribute to make them effective teachers; The teacher
respondents are still wanting of upgrading or improving their level of emotional
intelligence in some areas or aspects; The teachers are comparable in their level
of emotional intelligence across the profile variables; The teachers have very
high emotional intelligence in some aspects which make them very good
teachers at certain situations.
Based on the conclusions made, the following are commended: The
teachers concerned should be sent home to more in-service trainings on the
national and international level along their field of specialization. It must be
inculcated among teachers that professional growth is a continuous process that
they should pursue their advance studies and continue upholding
professionalism among teachers; That the respondents must maintain a high
level of emotional intelligence in the different aspect by participating in activities
that can enhance their emotional intelligence; Recommend that an enhancement
program building activities in emotional intelligence should be initiated and
implemented in schools; A more carefully selected variables should further be
identified, specifically these strong indicators for enhancing emotional
intelligence; Further research should be undertaken to look into other concerned
of emotional intelligence not covered by this study.
