Abstract
The present research explores the relationship and differences in Emotional Intelligence (EI), Spiritual Intelligence (SI), and Teaching Aptitude (TA) among school teachers working in government and private institutions in District Anantnag, Jammu & Kashmir. A sample of 300 school teachers (150 from government schools and 150 from private schools) was selected through stratified random sampling. Standardized tools were administered to measure EI, SI, and TA. Statistical techniques, including Pearson’s correlation and t-tests, were employed for analysis. Results revealed a significant difference between government and private school teachers in all three variables. A strong positive correlation was also found among EI, SI, and TA. The study emphasizes the need to integrate emotional and spiritual development in teacher training programs to enhance teaching aptitude.
