Methodology for developing emotional intelligence in future teachers through the integration of theatrical pedagogy into the educational process

the article discusses the methodology for developing emotional intelligence in future teachers through the integration of theatrical pedagogy into the educational process. The focus is on how theatrical methods (role-playing, improvisation, dramatization) can be used to develop key components of emotional intelligence, such as empathy, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills. The results of an empirical study, involving 60 students of pedagogical programs, are presented. The study showed that the use of theatrical methods in the educational process contributes to the improvement of emotional competence in students, enhances their ability to interact effectively with others, and helps develop self-regulation skills. This work provides practical recommendations for integrating theatrical technologies into the educational process in pedagogical universities and may be useful for teachers and curriculum developers.
