Abstract

The research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance, supported by numerous studies, predominantly reveals a positive connection in adolescents between emotional and academic dimensions. This relationship involves the integration of social, psychological, familial, and behavioral factors in the educational environment. The study, based on a documentary review of 50 articles, aimed to determine how the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic performance could enhance educational practices. The results highlight the significant influence of emotional factors on academic performance, sparking an essential debate on knowledge acquisition and the foundations for improving educational strategies. It is concluded that this interrelationship positively impacts educational dynamics by fostering an environment that promotes emotions in the classroom, effectively integrating emotional education into curricula, providing socio-emotional support from the student's immediate environment, and facilitating the development of emotional skills in the learning process.
