In addition to descriptive statistics, hierarchical regression analysis was utilized. As a result of the study, it was determined that there is a moderate, positive and meaningful relationship between the motivations towards learning science and the levels of emotional intelligence of middle school students. Nevertheless, it has been found that the levels of emotional intelligence of learners can reasonably predict the motivation for learning science.
