INTRODUCTION

Emotional intelligence is the capacity of an individual to perceive, interpret,

demonstrate, control, evaluate, and use emotions to communicate with and relate to
others effectively and constructively (MSEd, KC 2023). Emotional intelligence helps
individuals build stronger relationships, succeed at school, and work, and achieve
their career and personal goals. It can also help them to connect with their feelings,
turn intention into action, and make informed decisions about what matters most to
them (Smith, M. 2023). Building emotional intelligence helps you manage stress in
several ways. It helps you assess situations better, cope with pressure, and navigate
social conflict (McCray, N. 2022).

People often consider grades first when defining academic performance. This
includes schools, who rank students by their GPA (Grades Point Average), awarding
special designations such as valedictorian and salutatorian for those who graduate
first and second in their class. Scholarship organizations and universities also start
by looking at grades, as do some employers, especially when hiring recent
graduates. (Work - Chron.com 2018) Academic performance is a measure of a
student's achievement in several academic courses. Teachers and education
officials often assess achievement by classroom performance, graduation rates, and
exam outcomes. (Thornton, T. 2022). Students' academic excellence will lead to
increased employment. If the students do well in their exams, they will graduate on
schedule. There are factors that affect students’ academic performance; an
uncomfortable learning environment, family background, learning infrastructure,
difficulty in understanding, teacher-student ratio, information overload, performance
pressure, unhealthy lifestyle, distracted mind, and loss of interest (Team, C. 2022).

The participants in this context analysis are senior high school students at
Gazellian College Foundation Incorporated. Senior High School is a Department of
Education (DEPed) program. Some parents and students are unaware of how senior
high schools operate and why they have been included in our redesigned
educational system. Senior high school is a necessity for college admission,
especially when the pupils are going to attend four or more-year courses in college.
If students desire to avoid college and enter the workforce as soon as possible,
senior high school provides the quickest option to receive Certificates of
Competency and National Certificates from TESDA, which may be used to apply for
both local and international jobs that require a specific set of abilities. The senior
high school program is broken down into career tracks and learning tracks. Career
tracks (Academics, Arts and Design, Sports and TVL/TLE) and Learning tracks
(ABM, STEM, HUMSS, GAS, Home Economics, ICT, Agri- fishery arts, and
Industrial arts (Short Courses.n.d.). The researchers chose the Senior High School
Department as their respondents since this level is most likely to experience
challenges in Academics at Gazellian College Foundation Incorporated. That is why
the researchers are conducting this study to learn more about Emotional Intelligence
and how it can aid respondents in academic performance and various aspects of
their lives.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS

This study aims to know the importance of emotional intelligence in students’

academic performance among the senior high school department at Gazellian
College Inc. The study aimed to answer the following questions:

 Why are the students not performing well in academics?

 Why do students lack Emotional Intelligence skills?
 How does emotional intelligence contribute to problem solving skills and critical
thinking abilities among students?

OBJECTIVES
 To apply emotional intelligence in a students’ academic performance.
 To determine the reason why the students are lacking intelligence about
emotions.
 To examine the role of emotional intelligence in critical thinking and problem-
solving skills.
HYPOTHESIS

This hypothesis guides our investigation, and further exploration of this

relationship can provide valuable insights for educational strategies and student
support. If senior high school students exhibit higher levels of emotional intelligence,
as indicated by improved emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and empathy,
then it is expected that they will achieve higher grades and demonstrate superior
overall academic performance.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This research was conducted with the goal of providing important information and
knowledge about the selected topic "The importance of emotional intelligence in
students' academic performance among the senior high school department at
Gazellian College Foundation Incorporated”. From respondents, recent studies or

INTELLIGENCE

DANIEL GOLEMAN (1995)

(FIVE COMPONENTS OF EI)

SELF- SELF-
AWARENESS REGULATION MOTIVATION EMPATHY SOCIAL SKILLS

Figure II. Theoretical Framework of having high emotional intelligence on Senior High
School students'

According to John Mayer (University of New Hampshire psychologist and one

of the first to study emotional intelligence) self-awareness is being “aware of both our
mood and our thoughts about mood.” It is also explained by Goleman (2002) as the
ability to read and understand your emotions as well as recognize their impact on
others. It can simply be put that self-awareness is a basic understanding of how we
feel and why we feel that way. The more we are aware of our feelings that easier
they are to manage and dictate how we might respond to others.

Motivation refers to the inner force that drives an individual to engage in

activities with long-term goals in mind. Rather than being guided by immediate
rewards, motivation is a long-term driver that focuses on the long-term benefits of
engaging in activities.

Empathy refers to the human ability to understand, share, and relate to others'
emotional experiences, leading to compassionate and kind responses towards them.
Empathy is often defined as the capacity to put oneself in another person's shoes
and imagine how they feel, enabling them to respond with care and sensitivity to
their emotional state.

Self-regulation is the cognitive and behavioral process whereby individuals

manage their emotions, thoughts, and attitudes in a way that enables them to
successfully cope with challenging or disturbing situations. This involves maintaining
a positive outlook, even when things do not go as planned, and preventing impulsive
reactions by controlling unexpected or disruptive emotions or impulses.

An individual’s social skills determine the extent to which relationships and

networks are built and maintained. It involves the ability of the individual to find
common ground with other people under different circumstances and leverage their
views about the world to build relationships.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This research study emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in

students' academic performance. The researcher will gather data through interviews
from senior high school students of Gazellian College Foundation Incorporated
school year 2023-2024. The researchers will also distinguish the benefits of
emotional intelligence in academic performance based on the discoveries.

The researchers will conduct an interview that will be limited to the

respondents of Senior High school students' of Gazellian College Incorporated. The
answers of the respondents will serve as a reference to be able to know the
importance of emotional intelligence in students' academic performance. However,
the results or findings might not be able to fully examine the subject, such as the
personal information of the respondents since it is a qualitative data and only
focuses on the importance of emotional intelligence in students' academic
performance.

Foreign Literature

Students who are better able to understand and manage their emotions
effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence, perform better in school than their
less skilled peers, as evaluated by grades and standardized test results. Our
research shows that high intelligence and a conscientious disposition are the most
essential psychological attributes required for academic achievement, as well as
emotional intelligence, which may also assist students succeed. It is not enough to
be intelligent and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and
manage their emotions to excel in school. American Psychological Association
(2019).

According to the article of Mayer Et-al (2016). Our results expand on these findings
by suggesting that, when the quality of the relationship with teachers is low, the
association between emotional intelligence and flourishing become stronger. In sum,
our study provides some empirical evidence to support the importance of developing
personal and social resources (i.e., emotional intelligence and teacher-student
relationship) to foster adolescents’ well-being and improve their academic
performance.

According to Kant (2019). Emotion is an essential element of one’s

personality and of life. In both personal and professional survival, emotional
intelligence plays a significant role. Emotions are the most influential psychological
conditions of human personality. With the help of emotions one can show his or her
internal feeling in the most effective way. Emotions are the most important aspect of
human nature as it motivates one’s behavior. They provide several opportunities to
an individual to show his or her internal feeling for the environment. Emotions with
thinking resulting in experience of feelings, Emotions are our strong motivating
systems, as they promote and compel us to do something urgent extemporaneously
and provide the solution of any problem immediately. They play a vital role in social
settings by providing help in developing and enhancing interpersonal and
intrapersonal communication and relationships. Emotions are involved in every
activity, action and reaction of human beings. Emotionally intelligent people can
recognize their potential and they exercise this in their personal and professional life.
tin the span of the last twenty years, Emotional Intelligence (EI) concept has become
a very popular parameter of a person ‘s knowledge, skills and abilities in office,
profession, school, personal life and overall success. Now it is being considered
widely that emotional intelligence is also required for job satisfaction, motivation,
decision taking in adverse situations etc. It is filled now that inclusion of emotional
intelligence in higher education is needed because it will make students able to
reduce their academic pressure and in becoming a better decision maker. Emotional
intelligence is not only useful for their academic life but also useful for post academic
life.
 According to the Research Journal of Educational Sciences (2013). Emotional
intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for
motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in us and in our relationship.
Through this research it showed that emotional intelligence is highly beneficial in the
areas of education, work, and mental health. This study suggested as well as
provided research evidence that when it comes to long-term success and success in
varied life situations, being high in emotional intelligence is more important than
being high in academic abilities. Teaching emotional and social skills is very
important at school; it can affect academic achievement positively not only during the
year they are taught, but during the years that follow as well. Teaching these skills
has a long-term effect on achievement. In short, emotionally intelligent students
would have better academic achievement or through EI there is a possibility of
improvement of academic achievement.

According to Scerer (2015), he interprets adaptability as a capability that

allows the individuals to be flexible and be able to alter one’s feelings. It makes
mention of humans abilities in switching emotionally and behaviorally from one to
another. The people who score highly in adaptability are flexible, realistic, and
allowed to deal with change well, especially in a good way.

According to Pulido & Herrera (2017), Rebollo & de la Peña, (2017), and
Puertes et al. (2020). This harmony is found in the agreement between thoughts and
feelings. Therefore, education can be used as an instrument for the integrated
growth of minds, not only regarding a mental dimension but also at the spiritual and
emotional levels. The issue of age and sex differences on emotional intelligence
remains debatable as different studies claim that women handle emotions better
than men (Extremera et al 2006; Billings et al., 2014); Reholin & de la Peña, 20 In
addition, with respect to age, it appears that emotional control gets better as one
ages (CMAs & Mall, 2005; Pulido and Herrera, 2017; Rebollo and de la Pella, 2017).

According to Bisquerra and Petrides (2016), emotional intelligence becomes

progressively important in the field of education, hence it promotes the psychological
well-being of students, it initiates them to have a higher quality of understanding of
their surroundings. In addition, they produce the necessary skills to manage the
various situations that occur in their daily lives. Thus, this construct is established as
an education process that must be permanent and continuous, advocating the
integral development of students.

According to Preeti (2013), academic achievement is an outcome in which the

students, teacher, and institution achieved their academic achievement goals.
Academic achievement refers to the proportion which the learners acquire
knowledge, skills, and proficiencies that the instructor aims to teach or assign.
Academic achievement considered as academic intelligence, by academic
intelligence means typically stated by conventional definition and test comprising so-
called general ability and related abilities. Students’ ability to express his or her
personality and to enjoy rich and complex social relations depends on their mastery
of academic matters. Academic achievement is commonly measured by examination
or continuous assessment but there is no general accordance on how it is tested in a
good way or which aspects are more fundamental procedural knowledge such as
skills or declarative knowledge such as facts. Achievement comprehends student
ability and performances; it is multidimensional; it is intricately related to human
growth and cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development; that reflects the
whole individual.

According to Ahmed et.al (2019), Mohzan et.al (2013), Academic

performance is traditionally connected with a range of factors including cognitive
intelligence; hard work/persistence; learning strategies; socio-economic factors;
cultural background; motivation/determination; stress management and relationships
with teachers, schoolmates and parents. Of these, cognitive intelligence is
considered the most important.

According to Wolfe (2017), when an individual is emotionally intelligent and

can manage and regulate their feelings, it is considered a different style of being a
smart person.

According to Lee & Madera (2019); Ma et.al (2019), An emotionally intelligent

person that has the capabilities of recognizing their internal feelings, they use it to
make adequate life decisions, manage stress and control impulses.

According to Lee & Madera (2019), If the individuals had a high emotional
intelligence, they had the ability to stay motivated and optimistic when they were
pursuing their goals.

According to Koz & Boz (2020), when individuals also have a high emotional
intelligence, it means they are empathetic, and they have social skills: they get along
with other people easily and manage their relationships well and persuasion.

According to E. Goh (2013, 2015), the students that commit academically

dishonest behaviors tend to have a dilemma with time and stress management.
