Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since COVID-19, followed by the development of Industry 4.0, emerging technologies have had the objective of making our lives accessible, meaningful, and easier. Emerging technologies include a wide and broad variety of technological advancements, encompassing Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, 6G cellular communications, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), BCIs and biofeedback, robotics, drones, exergames, serious games, various game platforms, and many more, demanding researchers and professionals to be vigilant in being able to track, assess, and utilize them.

All these technologies, now more than ever, have been an essential part of our daily living, also used by many fellow researchers as facilitators of intelligence and emotional intelligence. Intelligence and emotional intelligence, following the principles of Maslow, Rodgers, Sternberg, and Gardner, as well as the 8x8 layer model of intelligence and the 9-layer model of emotional intelligence, are considered to be a holistic overview of success and achievement in life. These can greatly benefit from emerging technologies related to physical activity and exercise, breathing, nutrition, education, metacognition, meditation, mindfulness, and executive function development, enhancing human beings across their lifespan and providing new possibilities for cognition, stress reduction, spatial and body awareness, emotional stability, self-realization, and transcendence.

We encourage the submission of research that proposes innovative ideas, experimental studies, prototypes, and literature reviews, regarding the aspects of emerging technologies and their utilization to benefit and improve intelligence and emotional intelligence across the lifespan.

Dr. Athanasios Drigas
Guest Editor

Emotional Intelligence (EI) in teaching is associated with various educational outcomes and processes. However, it has typically been measured through self-reports and general EI assessments, lacking a specific performance test with greater ecological validity in relation to the demands of the professional educational context. This study describes the development and validation results of the Video-Test of Emotional Intelligence for Teachers (ViTIED), a new performance-based measure to assess the EI of secondary education teachers based on ability EI model and the situational judgment test paradigm. The test comprises 12 video scenes designed to elicit intra- and interpersonal processes, as well as both positive and negative emotions. A total of 163 Spanish teachers (36% male, 64% female; mean age = 40.32 years) completed the ViTIED, along with personality, perceived EI, and burnout assessments. Test scores provide initial evidence of adequate reliability, as well as content, convergent, and divergent validity. Continued validation of this measure will benefit evaluation and intervention processes with teachers, as well as research on the impact of teachers’ EI on the teaching–learning processes and the well-being of the educational community.

Non-intellectual factors in mathematics are key psychological factors that influence students’ cognitive activities and, consequently, their learning efficiency. While the assessment of these factors has gained increasing academic attention, research on the effective use of intelligent tools to assess and improve students’ non-intellectual factors remains insufficient. This study employed intelligent technology to develop the Intelligent Assessment and Strategy Implementation System for Non-intellectual Factors in Mathematics Learning for Primary and Secondary School Students, which integrates an assessment index system, scales, regional norms, and personalized improvement strategies, enabling it to automatically generate bulk reports on students’ non-intellectual factor scores across various dimensions and provide targeted improvement strategies. In order to test its effectiveness, the intelligent system was applied across several provinces, cities, and schools in China. Eleventh-grade students from X Middle School in T City served as a representative case study. The interventions were based on the strategies provided by the system, and the research consistently demonstrated that the “Intelligent Assessment and Strategy Implementation System of Mathematics Non-intellectual Factors for Primary and Secondary School Students” effectively delivers high-precision diagnoses and personalized intervention strategies.
