Emotional intelligence: from awareness of emotions to self-regulation.

On October 22, a seminar-workshop titled "Emotional Intelligence: Managing Stress" was held for first-year students of the "Chemistry" academic program. The event was organized by faculty members from the Department of Physical Chemistry, Catalysis, and Petrochemistry—S. M. Narenova, Ye. Zh. Ussipbekova, and G. A. Suleimenova—within the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. Tolkynai Yerzhankyzy Konysbai, a guest lecturer from the Department of General and Applied Psychology at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU), provided an engaging overview of the history and evolution of the concept of emotional intelligence (EI). She also explained the significance of key EI components—such as communication skills, self-awareness, empathy, motivation, and self-control—in an individual’s personal development and professional growth. Students from group 101-Kh prepared an entertaining quiz focused on the application of EI in everyday life. At the conclusion of the seminar, Tolkynai Yerzhankyzy conducted an assessment to help students determine their own EI levels, followed by personalized recommendations and effective techniques for further development.
