Exploring Social Skills Among Students And Its Effects On Teachers
Main Article Content
Abstract
Proficient social skills significantly contribute to students’ well- being, help them understand the environment around, foster meaningful relationships. This challenge requires a multi-faceted approach with an obvious involvement of teachers; despite of all the tactics being played, some internal and external factors hinder students from honing this skill. Teachers often encounter a myriad of challenges when students lack adequate social skills. This chapter explores the attitude of the students towards social skills, and look into the under lying factors contributing the deficits in students, how this inability of the students is affecting the teachers’ mental health.
