Art technologies in the development of students’ emotional intelligence

The article presents an overview of domestic research devoted to the development of students’ emotional intelligence by means of art technologies. The relevance of the problem of developing emotional intelligence in modern students is determined by the objectives of higher education. Despite the serious experience gained in Russia in the use of art in teaching and personal education, the active penetration of art technologies into the education system began to occur relatively recently, which explains the time frame of the review study – 2019–2021. The analysis was performed in December 2021 using the national bibliographic database of scientific citation. The research was conducted using such combinations of keywords as “emotional intelligence”, “development of emotional intelligence of students”, “art therapy”, “pedagogical art therapy”, “art technology”, “art therapy at the university” in Russian for the period of 2019–2021. Out of 902 publications devoted to art therapy, the problem of using art technologies in higher education, the development of emotional intelligence through art technologies, the authors selected 49 publications. The analysis of the selected publications showed that the problem of the development of emotional intelligence arouses increased interest among researchers. However, the development of emotional intelligence in students is not a priority. In the system of professional education, the topic of emotional intelligence is not given enough attention, which is unacceptable and does not meet the requirements for the level of training of modern specialists. In recent studies, the possibilities of using art technologies in the development of students’ emotional intelligence have not been sufficiently disclosed. There is a need for further development of a program for the development of students’ emotional intelligence, presentation and description of art therapy techniques and techniques, their place and role in the development of emotional intelligence. Undoubtedly, building up the evidence base and substantiating methods for verifying the effectiveness of various art technologies will be a promising direction.
