Inteligencia emocional y rendimiento académico en estudiantes de secundaria.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe how emotional intelligence affects the academic performance of high school students. A mixed study with qualitative predominance was carried out. The results show that the emotional intelligence of these students significantly affects their academic success, because when they feel emotional discomfort their mood decreases. On the contrary, feeling a positive mood motivates you to study; however, it does not meet the quality of the determining factor in itself of academic success. It is concluded that emotional intelligence can be stimulated as an ability to enhance the academic performance of students based on motivational processes.
