Pentingnya Kecerdasan Emosional Peserta Didik terhadap Hasil Belajar Biologi

Abstract

Abstract:     Indicators of achieving goals in learning can be seen by looking at the high and low learning outcomes obtained by students. Learning outcomes are the maximum benchmarks that have been achieved by students after learning during a certain time. The low learning outcomes of students can be proven by there are still many students who cannot achieve learning outcomes in accordance with KKM when taking mid-semester exams and final exams especially in the field of biological studies. This is evidenced by the results of preliminary observations carried out by researchers at several schools in Soppeng District which showed that student learning outcomes were still below the KKM standards with a score of 75 on biology subjects. Internal factors in determining student learning outcomes include emotional intelligence (EQ). Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize our own feelings and the feelings of others, the ability to motivate ourselves, and the ability to manage emotions well in ourselves and in relationships with others. Students who have emotional intelligence are able to know and respond to their own feelings well and are able to read and deal with other people's feelings effectively. By having high emotional intelligence students will have a good perspective in dealing with problems that occur in everyday life, including in the face of learning biology. With high emotional intelligence, it is expected to support high learning outcomes for students.  Keywords: Emotional intelligence, learning outcomes of biology.
