Utilization of Emotional Artificial Intelligence (EAI) in Art Learning to Improve Character Education of Elementary School Students

This research discusses the application of Emotional Artificial Intelligence (EAI) in art learning to enhance the character education of elementary school students. The main objective of this research is to explore how EAI can help improve students’ emotional intelligence as well as support their character development through art learning. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with case studies in several elementary schools that have integrated EAI into the art learning process. The results showed that the use of EAI can improve students’ ability to recognize and manage their emotions. In addition, EAI also plays a role in creating a more supportive learning environment, strengthening students’ social interactions, and improving their empathy and social skills. Nonetheless, challenges include limited technological infrastructure, teacher readiness, and the cost of implementing this technology. This research provides practical recommendations for schools to develop an EAI-based curriculum and support the development of students’ emotional intelligence through a more personalized and adaptive approach.
