The Effect of Self-Efficacy and Emotional Intelligence on Project-Based Learning in Vocational Education

Abstract

Project-based learning does not only require hard skills, but requires a balance of soft skills and student self-development. This study aims to analyze how much influence self-efficacy and emotional intelligence have on the quality of product outcomes in project-based learning and analyze the determinant factors. A total of 228 vocational education students were involved in this study. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring self-efficacy and emotional intelligence, and product evaluation observation sheets. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that self-efficacy and emotional intelligence had a significant effect on the quality of students' products. The level of experience, social skills, and quality of materials are the determinants of each variable. Various student self-development efforts to foster self-efficacy are very important to do to improve product quality. In addition to strengthening students' emotional intelligence, it is also very important to improve the quality of project-based learning outcomes.
