This study is a part of research report entitled Developing Senior High Students’
Mathematic and Emotional Intelligence and Their Retention by MEAs Instruction.
This study is an experiment with pretest-posttest group design which aims at
analyzing the effect of MEAs instruction on students’ mathematic and emotional
intelligence. The population is all eleventh graders of senior high schools in Cim ahi,
while the sample is purposively chosen from two senior high schools in Cimahi and
randomly selected from existing grade XI. Then they are randomly selected to
become experiment group and control group. Based on the result, it can be
concluded that students’ mathematic skill with MEAs instruction is better than
conventional instruction. Furthermore, there is no difference in term of emotional
intelligence between students who receive MEAs instruction and conventional
instruction; however there is a moderate level of association between students’
mathematic reasoning and emotional intelligence
