Abstract

This study explores the development of emotional intelligence as a key factor influencing academic success among high school students. The research was driven by the growing concern that Indonesia’s education system remains heavily focused on cognitive achievement while overlooking emotional and social competencies essential for holistic learning. The study aimed to examine how emotional intelligence contributes to academic success and to identify effective strategies for fostering it within school environments. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research was conducted at a public high school in West Java, Indonesia, using semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that students with high levels of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills demonstrate greater learning persistence, intrinsic motivation, and collaboration, leading to improved academic outcomes. Moreover, emotionally supportive teachers and positive school culture significantly enhance students’ emotional growth and engagement. The study concludes that emotional intelligence is not a peripheral attribute but a central determinant of academic success and personal development. It recommends integrating socio-emotional learning into high school curricula to build resilient, empathetic, and self-motivated learners. The contribution of this research lies in its contextual insight into emotional intelligence development within the Indonesian educational framework.

Abstract

Education is widely regarded as a strategic instrument for empowering women and advancing gender equity; however, persistent disparities indicate that its transformative potential remains uneven and context-dependent. This study aims to critically examine the extent to which education contributes to women’s empowerment and gender equity by identifying the structural and socio-cultural factors that mediate this relationship. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, the research integrates quantitative analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) with qualitative thematic analysis derived from in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that education has a significant positive effect on women’s agency, economic participation, and decision-making capacity, yet its impact on broader gender equity outcomes is limited by structural barriers such as labor market inequalities and entrenched patriarchal norms. Furthermore, the study highlights that the quality and transformative orientation of education play a more decisive role than mere access or attainment. These results suggest that education functions as a necessary but insufficient condition for achieving gender equity, requiring complementary institutional and socio-cultural reforms. The study contributes theoretically by advancing a non-linear and integrative framework of empowerment, and practically by informing more context-sensitive policy interventions.
