Abstract

The pandemic has significantly reshaped our lives, particularly the way we learn. Despite the increased use of technology in education during this period, there have been persistent negative effects that extend beyond cognitive aspects, impacting students emotionally. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct emotional analyses of students, as emotional states can also influence their science achievement. A study involving 215 students from Senior High School 2 Sungai Penuh employed descriptive and correlation methods. Students’ achievement scores were collected from teachers’ semester reports, while emotional intelligence data were gathered using questionnaire. The findings indicated that students generally exhibit high emotional intelligence in learning science, with a mean score of 82.09. Nevertheless, future research should prioritize enhancing social skills. Among the students, 120 were categorized as having “very good” emotional intelligence, 84 as “good,” and only one required special attention. With five emotional intelligence indicators and four subjects in achievement scores, 36 intercorrelations were analyzed, all of which were found to be statistically significant, albeit with varying correlation coefficients. The study revealed that motivation significantly influences students’ achievement, whereas empathy has a less pronounced impact. These findings lay a foundation for designing educational approaches that foster emotional intelligence and improve learning outcomes.
