Abstract

This study aims to determine. 1) the relationship between emotional intelligence and students' mathematical reasoning abilities; 2) understand the relationship between interest in learning mathematics with mathematical punishment abilities; and 3) understanding the simultaneous relationship between emotional intelligence and mathematics learning interest on students' mathematical reasoning abilities. The method used is correlational. The population is students of class VIII 10 Ruteng Middle School, Ruteng sub-district, Mangarai regency, NTT province, which holds 225 students. With the random technique obtained by 70 students as a sample, then using a proportional random sampling technique obtained samples from each class that is ten students.
