Abstract

Emotional intelligence plays a central role in students’ social adjustment and academic success, particularly during the elementary school years when children begin developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal competence. Preliminary observations and teacher interviews at UPT SD Negeri 7 Gresik revealed that many students struggled with managing negative emotions, expressing feelings appropriately, and interacting positively with peers. This study aimed to enhance students’ emotional intelligence through the structured implementation of Social Skills Training (SST). Using a practice-based intervention approach, the researcher conducted initial assessments through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations, followed by the selection of 30 students with low to moderate emotional-intelligence scores. The intervention consisted of two sessions involving modeling, role-playing, guided reflection, reinforcement, and home practice. Results indicated noticeable improvements in key emotional-intelligence domains, including emotional regulation, empathy, communication, and cooperative behavior. Teachers reported reduced classroom conflicts, increased student confidence, and more harmonious peer interactions. The study concludes that SST is an effective strategy for fostering emotional development among elementary students, particularly those from vulnerable backgrounds. The integration of SST into school programs is recommended to support long-term emotional and social well-being.
