The Effect of Emotional Quotient, Adversity Quotient, and Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability on Mathematics Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to determine the direct influences of the emotional and adversity quotients on learning outcomes and the indirect influence through the mathematical problem-solving abilities of Class XI students at SMA Negeri 16 Makassar. This type of study is quantitative with an ex post facto research design. The population in this study were students of class XI consisting of 6 science classes and 4 social classes; the sample was selected using the cluster proportional random sampling method and obtained 3 science classes and 2 social classes as research samples. Data were collected using test and non-test instruments. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using path analysis techniques. The results showed that the emotional quotient of students was in the medium category, and the adversity quotient of students was in the camper category, while their mathematical problem-solving abilities and mathematics learning outcomes were in a low category. Based on hypothesis tests, it is found that the emotional quotient has a significant direct effect but does not have an indirect effect on mathematics learning outcomes, and the adversity quotient does not have a significant direct or indirect effect on mathematics learning outcomes.
