Abstract

The background of the research highlights the challenges faced in the education sector, particularly in Indonesia, such as low academic performance and underdeveloped critical thinking skills among students.. This study aims to analyze the effect of emotional intelligence with biology learning outcomes. The population was 1345 class XI students with a sample of 398 students selected by proportional random sampling. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of emotional intelligence on the biology learning outcomes of students in class XI of State High School in Bulukumba Regency. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative method with correlational approach. Data were collected using Likert scale questionnaire distribution to students and multiple choice test questions and data were analyzed using regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that emotional intelligence has a significant influence on learning outcomes with a sig value. 0.000 <0.05 and a contribution of 40%. The influence of emotional intelligence on learning outcomes by 40% shows that this ability has a fairly important role in helping students improve their learning outcomes. Overall, emotional intelligence has a positive, broad and profound influence on students learning outcomes. The ability to manage emotions, build social relationships, and make wise decisions for each individual student can optimize their academic potential so that they can develop into emotionally and intellectually balanced individuals. Therefore, emotional intelligence is an integral part of education to improve the quality of learning and achievement of student learning outcomes.
