Abstract

This study explored how online students perceived their instructors’ emotional intelligence (EI) and its impact on their learningengagement. Using eight EI behaviours of online instructors and a learning engagement instrument, 100 online university studentswere surveyed regarding their observation of those EI behaviours and their learning engagement. Regression analysis indicated that 27.2% of the variance in learning engagement could be attributed to four dimensions of EI behaviours (R2 = 0.272, F (4, 95) = 8.873,p < 0.001). Instructors providing individual support, demonstrating concern for the students’ situations, adapting their resourcesto online delivery, and being honest about their situation and challenges were associated with higher student learning engagement.
