This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and student
achievement at the junior high school level. Emotional intelligence includes an individual's
ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions and establish interpersonal
relationships effectively. In the context of education, emotional intelligence is believed to have
a significant influence on learning motivation, stress management, and social interaction in the
school environment. This study used a qualitative approach with observation techniques and
in-depth interviews with students and teachers in three different schools. The findings showed
that students with high levels of emotional intelligence tend to have better learning
achievements, characterized by stable academic grades, positive learning attitudes, and the
ability to work together with peers. Conversely, students with low emotional intelligence tend
to have difficulty in managing conflict, lack focus in learning, and show symptoms of stress
that have a negative impact on academic achievement. These findings emphasize the
importance of strengthening aspects of emotional intelligence in the learning process in order
to create a more holistic learning environment and support students' academic success.
