Abstract

Backgroud: In this research, attempts will be made to measure the level of emotional intelligence and effective communication among physical education teachers in preparatory schools, and the nature of the relationship between the two variables will be analyzed. The importance of the study is derived from the multiple roles that physical education teachers play through the combination of educational duties with social and emotional communication, as well as the control of cases of self-control, classroom management, and students' communication. This includes maintaining the continuity of educational duties and engagement in sports activities.

Methods: The descriptive analytical research design that uses correlation will be applied based on the research problem and objectives. The population of the research includes physical education teachers working in preparatory schools belonging to the General Directorate of Education in Salah al-Din Governorate for the academic year 2026-2027. The size of the sample will be identified after analyzing the data collected from the distributed questionnaires. The researcher will use the emotional intelligence scale that was verified previously as appropriate for the Iraqi educational system, along with the corresponding effective communication scale. Statistical analysis will be carried out using the mean and standard deviation measures.

Results: Based on the correlation analysis design, emotional intelligence is closely related to teachers' ability to build effective interactions in the physical learning environment and the management of students' sports activities.

Conclusions: Emotional intelligence is an essential psychological aspect that supports the realization of effective communication of physical education teachers in carrying out instructional tasks and classroom management.
