| Abstract: | Abstract Emotional intelligence, which may be taken to mean a person's capacity to behave appropriately in differing social situations, has received increasing interest since the term's popularization by Goleman (1995). The idea of emotional intelligence, however, is a longstanding one, traceable as early as the Platonic dialogues and certainly present in the work of John Dewey. This article proposes a framework for design and development of technology-based instruction for emotional intelligence. This framework will be used to elucidate potential uses of computer technology to support the development of emotional intelligence. Educators and instructional designers are encouraged to engage in this challenging arena. |
