The study aims to develop an IT-based educational model for the personal
development of a social educator: emotional intelligence (EI) and creative
abilities. The study took place at L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National
University and K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University in Kazakhstan. It
involved four moderators of online learning, 62 students majoring in “social
pedagogy”; two of the teachers were members of the curriculum
development commission. The study used the method of videoconferencing
and inferential analysis to examine the relationship between EI and the
creative abilities of future social educators in Kazakhstan. The results
showed that the respondents had a moderate level of EI with an average
value of 3.39. The correlation between EI and the creative abilities of social
educators was medium-strong and positive. Results indicate that an increase
in the level of EI leads to an increase in creative abilities. The novelty and
originality of the study lies in the following aspects: the development of an
educational model of personal growth of social pedagogues on the basis of
information technologies taking into account EI and creative abilities; the
use of innovative methods to study the relationship between EI and creative
abilities of teachers demonstrates the use of modern technologies of data
collection and identification of correlations between the studied variables,
which indicates the importance of the development of EI and creative
abilities of social pedagogues.
