The present study seeks to reveal the impact Emotional Literacy
Training (ELT) that lasted for two months, on students' emotional
intelligence performance. The study was designed as a quasi-experimental
research. The experimental group consisted of 16 students, while 12
students were assigned to control group. Data in pre-test and post-test were
collected through the Ten Years Emotional Intelligence Scale (TYEIS)
developed by Coskun, Oksuz and Yilmaz (2017). Data were analysed
through the paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Findings of
the study indicated that ELT significantly increased experimental group
students' emotional intelligence performance and this significant increase
remained permanently. Results were discussed according to Experiential
Learning and Radical Behaviourism and in the light of relevant literature;
several implications were developed for teachers, other school staffs and
researchers.
