Emotional Intelligence in Chemistry Education: Enhancing Academic Performance and Laboratory Skills

Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, understand, manage, and regulate emotions effectively. In chemistry education, students often experience stress and anxiety due to complex concepts and laboratory work. This research paper explores the role of emotional intelligence in improving students’ academic performance, laboratory skills, and collaborative learning in chemistry. The findings suggest that integrating emotional intelligence training into chemistry teaching enhances academic achievement and interpersonal skills.
