Abstract

The study investigates emotional intelligence as a predictor of academic stress management among undergraduate students. A descriptive research design was used. Two purposes and two research hypotheses guided the study. The target population was all the undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education. Purposive sampling was used to select two Departments and 100 participants were selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. Two different instruments were adapted for data collection titled Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) and Student Academic Stress Scale (SASS). A pilot study of 25 undergraduate students was used to test-retest within three weeks intervals to test its reliability. The Cronbach's Alpha for Internal Consistency Reliability was 0.78 and 0.85, respectively. Data collected were analyzed using percentages, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Statistics (PPMS), and a t-test statistical tool to test null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance were used. The study discovers that there is a significant gender difference in academic stress management between male and female undergraduate students at Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin-Nigeria. The result shows that there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and academic stress management among undergraduate students at Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin-Nigeria. The study concludes that emotional intelligence has a significant relationship with academic stress management among postgraduate students at Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin-Nigeria.

Abstract

With the emergence of e-counseling applications, counseling services can now be provided to clients online. This study examines secondary school counselors' awareness, efficacy, and readiness to utilize counseling service application software in Lagos, Nigeria. Using a descriptive survey design, data were collected through a standardized questionnaire validated by experts. The analysis revealed that counselors exhibit low awareness, capability, and readiness to use such software. Additionally, there is a moderate positive relationship between these variables and the usability of counseling applications, which is statistically significant. These findings highlight the need for training programs to enhance counselors’ awareness and competencies. Support from the government and educational institutions is essential to promote the adoption of this technology, which can improve counseling effectiveness, support students’ mental health, and enhance academic outcomes. Collaboration with technology experts is strongly recommended to optimize the application of this software in counseling practices.   Abstrak Munculnya aplikasi e-konseling, layanan konseling kini dapat diberikan kepada klien secara online.
