dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this article was to interrogate emotional intelligence as a correlate of academic achievement among form three students in Kenya, using Machakos County as a point of reference, for illustration. The contention of the study was that academic achievement equips individuals withs skills that enable them to be productive and innovative. However poor academic achievement has been an issue of concern in Kenya at large and also in Machakos County for the past few years. Poor academic achievement may lead to poor economic growth due to reduced qualified personnel in various economic sectors. Despite numerous studies carried out on academic achievement, very few studies have been done on the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement in Kenya. This study explored the association between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. A sample of 340 students was selected using random sampling technique to participate in the study. The results revealed that emotional intelligence and academic achievement were highly correlated. It was concluded that it is importance to enhance emotional intelligence and metacognition among students to improve their academic achievement. Therefore, it was recommended that teachers and parents should enhance emotional intelligence and metacognition among students. This may have positive impact on their academic achievement.en_US
