Poster #3 Do Emotional Intelligence Skills Influence Academic Achievement and Effective Learning? Denisa Agastra Faculty Mentor: Kara Lindaman A considerable number of research studies indicate that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ in many fields. In the available literature, many quantitative findings illustrate a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence skills and academic success (Jeager, 2003). Alternatively, emotional intelligence skills serve as an indicator of academic achievement and effective learning. The focus of this research is to examine the relationship of emotional intelligence on academic achievement among undergraduates in Winona State University. Furthermore, it will explore how this relationship influences effective learning. Survey questionnaires are used to collect data from a sample of 150 undergraduate students. Emotional intelligence will be measured using 5 indicators; autonomy, stress management, interpersonal skills, internal motivation and self-awareness. For academic achievement, the GPA (cumulative grade point average) will be used as an indicator. Students GPA will be compared with the Emotional Intelligence level of each student, to see whether there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement or not, in order for us to be able to accept or reject our hypothesis. |
