The purpose of this study was to evaluate a nine-week blended learning social skills intervention for high school students identified as being at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders. Exploring how social skills interventions improve students' social and emotional deficits aids in the development of an engaging curriculum. This quantitative study utilized a pretest-posttest method. High school students identified as being at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders and their special educators were invited to complete the researcher-designed social skills intervention with a corresponding pre- and post-test. There were no statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test scores for the students or the special educator. The SEARS' social-emotional domains were all found to be statistically significant predictors of the students' total composite score. Gender was found to be a significant predictor of the student's total composite score. Implications of the study include strategies for developing interventions at the high school level.

Mood Scale

The objective of this study was to analyse the relationship between emotional intelligence and social skills, and how these two variables influence bullying. In this study, 912 Spanish high school students, 471 boys and 441 girls aged 14–16 years, participated, who were administered the Spanish version of the Trait Meta Mood Scale 24, the “Bateria de socialización BAS-3” and the Peer Harassment Questionnaire. To analyse the results, a structural equation model was made. The results reflected a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and social skills (B = 0.44, p < 0.001), and a negative relationship with respect to bullying (B = −0.56, p < 0.001). In turn, social skills reflected a negative relationship with respect to bullying (B = −0.38, p < 0.001). These results reflect the need to implement educational programs focused on the development of emotional intelligence in the classroom, as a means to try to stop bullying behaviours in the classroom.

Penelitian ini mengkaji upaya pengembangan soft skill siswa SMA melalui kegiatan pramuka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang menggunakan teori fungsionalisme struktural dari Talcott Parsons dengan sistem AGIL, yaitu Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, dan Latency sebagai dasar analisis data. Partisipan penelitian adalah 24 siswa dan 1 pembina pramuka di sebuah SMA Negeri di Kabupaten Karanganyar, Jawa Tengah. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan pramuka dapat membantu mengembangkan soft skill siswa terutama kemampuan sosial dan kemampuan personal. Kemampuan sosial terdiri dari communication skill, relationship building, dan team work, sedangkan kemampuan personal terdiri dari time management, leadership skill, dan transforming character (percaya diri, tanggung jawab, mandiri, kreatif, cinta alam, dan berjiwa sosial). Kedua kemampuan soft skill dikembangkan melalui partisipasi siswa dalam kegiatan Pramuka dan keanggotaan siswa sebagai Dewan Ambalan Pramuka.This study examines efforts to develop soft skills for high school students through scouting activities. This research is a qualitative descriptive study that uses Talcott Parsons’ structural functionalism theory with the AGIL system, namely Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency as the basis for data analysis. Research participants were 24 students and one scout coach in a public high school in Kabupaten Karanganyar, Jawa Tengah. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that scouting activities could help develop students' soft skills, especially social skills and personal abilities. Social skills consist of communication skills, relationship building, and team work, while personal abilities consist of time management, leadership skills, and transforming character (self-confidence, responsibility, independence, creativity, love of nature, and social spirit). Both soft skill abilities are developed through student participation in scouting activities and student membership as Scouting Council.

Practical Evaluation

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the validity of the Interaction Rating Scale Advanced (IRSA) as an evidence-based practical index of social skills. Methods. The participants in our study were 17 high school students. The participants completed the five-minute interaction session and were observed using the IRSA. Their teacher evaluated their social competence based on regular observation in school. Results. The results indicated the high correlation between IRSA scores and teacher's practical evaluation. IRSA can measure social competence with high validity. Conclusion. The IRSA provides further evidence of the fact that in order to study social competence development, it is important to evaluate various features of the interaction like IRSA subscales.
