INVESTIGATION INTO SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE OF B.Ed. STUDENT-TEACHERS (original) (raw)
2015, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTI DISCIPLINARY EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
Since the turn of the millennium, Spiritual Intelligence (SI) has gained increasing recognition. More and more questions are being studied under the light of SI. It is being considered as important norm of human resource. Most of the research for analysing SI is done in field of business. Very less research has been done in the field of education where lives of people get shaped. Teachers must have this holistic form of intelligence in order to serve our students and bestow them with the most profound gift, enabling them with the ability to create vision and meaning in their lives. Future teachers must acknowledge, understand and possess spiritual intelligence so that they can find a deep purpose. Hence the present research paper is focused on testing the aptness of spiritual intelligence scale by Santosh dhar and Upinder Dhar (2010) for assessing spiritual intelligence of student-teachers. Objectives 1) To find applicability of Spiritual Intelligence Scale (SIS-DD) by Santosh Dhar and Upinder Dhar in field of Education. 2) To study inter-correlation between six dimensions of spiritual intelligence 3) To examine correlation of each individual dimension of spiritual intelligence with total SQ. From statistical analyses of data it is found that So we can conclude that DI Benevolence is not significantly correlated with DIV Compassion and DVI Optimism. DII Modesty is not significantly correlated with DV Magnanimity and DVI Optimism. Also DIV compassion is not significantly correlated with DVI Optimism. Again, DVI optimism is not correlated with DV Magnanimity.Hence, it leaves us to partially accept the null hypotheses that there will be no significant correlation between dimensions of spiritual intelligence.Correlation of DI Benevolence with D II Modesty, DIII Conviction, DIV Compassion and DV Magnanimityis statistically significant. Correlation of DII Modesty with DIII Convictionand DIV Compassion is extremely statistically significant; Correlation of DIII Conviction with DIV Compassion, DV Magnanimity and DVI Optimism is significant. Also, Correlation between DIV Compassion and DV Magnanimity is statistically significant.
