Exploring PCK in High Emotional Intelligence College Students: Arts Integrated Learning

Abstract

This study aims to explore Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in college students with high emotional intelligence in the context of art-integrated mathematics learning. PCK is an important component in teaching that combines material knowledge and pedagogical skills to deliver material effectively to students. In this study, college students with high emotional intelligence were selected as subjects to explore how emotional intelligence can support the development of their PCK, especially in learning that integrates art into mathematics learning. The results showed that high emotional intelligence allows college students to more effectively manage classes, understand students' needs, and deliver materials in a more creative and enjoyable way. In addition, the integration of art in mathematics learning provides opportunities for teacher to develop their pedagogical skills, such as the ability to create contextual and interactive learning situations. The conclusion of this study is that High Emottional Intelligence (HEI) greatly supports teachers' PCK which supports learning. This study provides insight into the importance of developing PCK supported by emotional intelligence in the context of innovative and integrative learning. Recommendations based on the results of this study are that further research is needed on the Influence of PCK and Emotional Intelligence Integration on Students' Academic Performance and the Role of Emotional Intelligence Training for Teachers in Improving Effective PCK Implementation.
