Abstract
This research focused on the socio-emotional learning (SEL) skills, teaching
strategies, and emotional intelligence of pre-service teachers when working with
hyperactive young learners. The study used both descriptive and correlational methods,
with data collected through questionnaires that measured key SEL areas such as
responsible decision-making, self-awareness, self-control; social skills, and social
awareness. Their findings showed that the participants strongly recognized and applied
these SEL competencies, especially in promoting self-control and encouraging social
interaction. Emotional intelligence also received high ratings, with the highest scores seen
in inclusivity, motivation, and building meaningful connections with learners. The results
of the correlation analysis showed significant links between SEL competencies, strategies,
and emotional intelligence, suggesting that those with higher emotional intelligence are
more likely to apply effective SEL practices. Furthermore, emotional intelligence particularly in recognizing emotional differences and promoting inclusivity was found to
help bridge the gap between SEL knowledge and teaching strategies. The study highlights
the importance of preparing future teachers through training programs that strengthen
emotional intelligence and equip them with practical SEL tools for supporting hyperactive
learners in inclusive classroom settings.
