INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TO SOCIAL STUDIES COURSE AND SOCIAL SKILLS LEVELS

Öz:

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the attitudes of secondary school students towards the social studies course and their social skill levels. This research is a descriptive study in relational survey model. Quantitative research method was used in this study. The study group of the research consists of 210 secondary school students studying at the level (5.6.7. grades) in the 2021-2022 academic year. Convenience sampling method was used in the study. In the research, the Attitude Scale Towards Social Studies Lesson developed by Uzun (2006) and the "Social Skills Scale" developed by Yurdakavuştu (2012) were used as data collection tools. When the research findings are evaluated; A moderate positive correlation was found between the attitudes of the secondary school students towards the social studies course and their social skill levels. In this case, it can be said that as the attitudes of the secondary school students towards the social studies course increase, their social skill levels also increase. However, it was found that students' attitudes towards social studies course explained 25% of the variance in students' social skills. Based on this result, it is seen that the attitude towards the social studies course is a significant predictor of social skills.
