Abstract:

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance among Medical Technology students of Universidad de Zamboanga. Specifically, it answered the following questions: 1. What is the emotional intelligence among Medical Technology students? 2. What is the academic performance among Medical Technology students? 3. Is there a significant difference in emotional intelligence and academic performance when grouped according to their profile? 4. Is there a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and academic performance among the respondents? Means and percentages were used to determine the emotional intelligence and academic performance among the third-year Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology students. T-test and ANOVA were used to determine the significant difference between emotional intelligence and academic performance. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to determine the significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance of the respondents. The results showed that the emotional intelligence of the third-year Medical Technology students is high. In comparison, the student’s academic performance had a mean of 84.73, a satisfactory average grade. The findings showed no significant difference in the respondents’ emotional intelligence and academic performance in terms of their sex, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Moreover, there was no significant correlation between the emotional intelligence and academic performance of the respondents.
