Education is an effort that aims to develop a complete human being which includes three aspects, namely cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. To be able to achieve the educational goals which consist of these three aspects, it is necessary to develop various aspects of personality, including intellectual, social, and emotional.

Behaviors that refer to indications of low emotional intelligence of students such as not going to school without explanation, arriving late, fighting, saying rude / dirty words, not listening to the teacher during class, lying and fighting against the teacher.
