Emotional literacy in a class group
Using TalkiT, a computer-based profiling tool managers, staff and young people can see
what is happening in the personal and social dynamics of any group of learners from a
whole year to a small teaching group.
The group profile is built from
individual profiles. It can be viewed as a single plot.
|
Each of the individual members of
the group can be plotted one on top of the other so see how each person contributes to the
whole.

| The
differences between boys and girls The
group can be divided to see smaller group differences such as boys and girls. In the work
so far, several statistically significant differences have been found between the
emotional literacy of boys and girls. with the
girls significantly better than the boys in:
- optimism
- staying on track with the school’s
rules and expectations
- working with other people, especially
when they have to share
- finding ways to fit into the social group
- communication than boys
- empathy
- being helpful, probably as a response to
their greater empathy
