A Meta-Analysis: Emotional Intelligence and its Effect on Mathematics Achievement

Abstract

Until now, many studies have been conducted on the correlation between emotional intelligence and mathematics achievement in Indonesia. However, there are different representations or conclusions regarding the results of the study. Therefore, this study aims to thoroughly investigate the effect of emotional intelligence and mathematics achievement on students in Indonesia and to detect the level of variation between studies using a meta-analysis approach. This study analyzed 36 primary studies with a sample of 2474 published in journals and campus repositories and filtered with certain eligibility criteria. To support the accuracy of the analysis results, JASP software is used. The results of the study found that the combined effect size value generated using the random-effect model estimation was (M = 0.65) with a standard error of (SEM = 0.07). This effect size belongs to the large effect category. Analysis of the study's level of variation was carried out by considering four moderator variables. The results of the analysis of moderator variables found that there were significant differences in the education level group (Qb = 62.94; p<0.05). Meanwhile, there was no difference in the publication type group (Qb = 0.64; p>0.05). and year of publication group (Qb = 4.16; p>0.05). These findings provide a strong theoretical foundation to improve students' mathematical achievement in the future.

Tools For The Development of Emotional Intelligence: Cognitive Native Language Teaching

“…The scientific results confirm the remote influence of music education on the individual's intellectual skills, including EI. The study (Muhtadi et al, 2022) confirms the positive impact of emotional intelligence on the results of learning mathematics. Another study (Adegboyega, 2019) shows a significant correlation between students' emotional intelligence and their attitude towards the exam.…”

“…We used a variety of language activities and relied on intellectual operations when performing the designed exercises: analysis, synthesis, comparison, ranking, etc. The study (Muhtadi et al, 2022) proves the correlation between emotional intelligence and intellectual mathematics achievement. Therefore, scientists recommend focusing on various language activities and forming intellectual skills (analysis, comparison, analogy, evaluation) when forming EI.…”

Emotional Intelligence as Indicator for Effective Academic Achievement within the School Setting: A Comprehensive Conceptual Analysis

“…Additionally, a meta-analysis found a moderate-to-large positive relationship between emotional intelligence and second/foreign language learning achievement (Wang 2023). Muhtadi et al, ( 2022) demonstrated that the effect of emotional intelligence on student performance on standardized tests is a large effect size with a combined effect size value of (M = 0.65) and a standard error of (SEM = 0.07). Other researchers, (Linden et al, 2017) indicated that the effect of emotional intelligence on student performance on standardized tests is a positive, but more moderate, correlation with ability EI (r ≈ .28).…”

“…Furthermore, evaluating publication bias can help ensure the integrity and validity of the analysis results as well as provide a more accurate and comprehensive picture of the effects or differences observed in the existing literature. 81,82,83,84,85,86 Statistical analysis in this study used the OpenMEE application. This application has quite complete features in conducting meta-analysis studies.…”
