Keywords:
classroom management style, social skills, student-teachers, academic motivation, academic achievementAbstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of teaching social skills to student-teachers on their classroom management after entering the teaching profession. For this purpose, 32 final-year students from Farhangian University were randomly selected and assigned to two groups: experimental and control. The research began by administering the Yazdi and Ali (2008) Classroom Management Style pre-test to both groups. The experimental group underwent social skills training for eight weeks. After the training period, a post-test on classroom management style was conducted for both groups. According to the analysis of covariance, the F-value was 19.08, with a significant interaction between group and pre-test at the level of P = 0.001. The mean score for the experimental group was M = 72.37, and for the control group, it was M = 63.47, indicating that the experimental group demonstrated higher classroom management skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that social skills training has changed the classroom management style of student-teachers.
