Understanding the Role of Emotional Intelligence in Student Academic Achievement

Abstract

Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to an individual’s ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence emotions, both in themselves and in others. This research paper explores the relationship between emotional intelligence and student academic achievement. The role of EI in improving learning outcomes is investigated, with an emphasis on how emotional regulation, social awareness, and self-motivation contribute to academic success. By reviewing recent studies, this paper highlights the importance of EI in students' academic lives, its potential for enhancing classroom learning environments, and the implications for educational practices. Findings suggest that EI positively correlates with academic performance and provides a foundation for academic success.
