Abstract

This article explores the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on academic achievement, highlighting the essential role that EI plays in educational settings. It begins with a comprehensive definition of emotional intelligence and its key components, followed by a review of the relationship between EI and academic performance. The article synthesizes empirical evidence demonstrating how emotional intelligence influences learning outcomes, motivation, and resilience among students. Additionally, it discusses effective strategies for enhancing EI in educational environments, including training programs and the role of educators. Challenges in measuring and implementing EI are also addressed, culminating in a conclusion that emphasizes the importance of integrating emotional intelligence into educational frameworks to foster academic success. The findings underscore the significance of emotional skills in navigating the complexities of academic life and promote the inclusion of EI training in curricula.
