We are pleased to present the article “Emotional competence and help-seeking intentions as predictors of educational success in vocational training students”, published in the Journal of Adult and Continuing Education #JACE. This article is part of the “Emotional competence in vocational training” project.
Marie-Hélène Véronneau, along with several collaborators from the universities of Rimouski, Concordia and UQÀM, focused on interpersonal emotional competence as a factor contributing to educational success.
What does the study reveal?
- Emotional competence at the beginning of the course is associated with greater educational success, as reported by the student at the end of his or her vocational training studies.
- Emotional competence is also associated with intentions to ask for help, which do not translate into better educational success. The link between emotional competence and educational success remains a rich field for future study!
