A Focus on the Emotional Maturity and Teaching Competency for Prospective Teachers

Among other things, teaching requires emotional effort. Being emotionally competent has slowly become
a need for the teaching profession, therefore the issue of instructors' actual emotional competence as well
as techniques for gaining these skills has been highlighted. The purpose of the current study is to
evaluate the relationship between the emotional development of student instructors and their
instructional skills. The researcher used a survey approach and random sampling to gather the pertinent
data in order to investigate the relationship between the variables. The sample for the current study
consisted of 350 student instructors (both male and female) from institutions of education. Harsangeet
Kaur (2019) developed and validated the Emotional Maturity Scale, and the researcher developed the
Teaching Competency Scale to collect the necessary data from the community. The data were analysed
using the Mann-Whitney test and the product moment correlation test developed by Karl Pearson. The
major conclusions are that there is a positive correlation between student instructors' emotional maturity
and their teaching ability.
