Given the relevance of emotional competences in the teaching-learning process, the article is presented, to compare, in term of gender, the levels of emotional intelligence of students in the 5th grade of schools in Temuco (Chile). The design of the research is framed in the positivist paradigm, descriptive level, non-experimental and transactional. To achieve the objective, the Trait Meta Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) was applied to a sample of 450 students from 12 schools in Temuco. Most of the students present adequate levels of emotional intelligence in the three dimensions of the scale: attention, clarity, and emotional regulation. Regarding the levels of emotional intelligence of men and women, no statistically significant differences were found in the dimensions of emotional attention and regulation; on the other hand, in the dimension of emotional clarity, women are at a higher level than men. Regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence and gender, there are statistically significant differences in emotional attention and clarity, but no such relationship was observed in the emotional regulation. As no conclusive results were found on levels the relationship between emotional intelligence and gender, further research is suggested.
