1. ISSUES IN TEACHING SOCIAL SKILLS Presented by: Jamilano, Cristel Miyarah B. Marino, Gemar

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVE At the end of this lesson, the students are expected to: Understand the different issues in teaching social skills. Identify the issues of teaching social skills. Explain how the issues affect the teaching of social skills.

3. In regards to education, social literacy aims to appeal to the student’s interests and needs. Children learn through social practices, both implicit and explicit and become human through social interaction. Nevertheless, it is also the case that children engage in social activity before they were taught it. INTRODUCTION

4. Social literacy concerns itself with the development of social skills, knowledge and positive human values that enable human beings to act positively and responsibly in range of complex and social settings. It is the ability to communicate and voice opinions and thoughts, as well as listening to opinions and thoughts of others. Social Literacy

5. Two distinct ways on how children learn to live socially with each other and with adults: 1. Normative and Communal 2 . Pragmatic and Individualistic

6. Normative and Communal From their culture, children learn customs that provide them with a guide to act in ways that minimize conflict. Pragmatic and Individualistic The social order of children is created by explicit and implicit agreements entered into by self-seeking individuals to avert the worst consequences of their selfish instincts.

7. Teaching social literacy in schools is not as easy as it appears to be due to subjective standards of morality and inherent human capacity to judge and make excuses.

8. Subjective Standards of Morality -Truth and morality are considered subjective and open to individual interpretation. This can be seen in the current culture where actions and behavioral patterns that were once considered bad have now become acceptable.

9. Subjective Standards of Morality - When the standards measure between good and bad changes, this gives us license to change as well and open the gates to all kinds of abuse.

10. Human Nature We would all like to believe that people are inherently good, experience has taught us that the inherent goodness of humanity is, at best, unreliable. - We insist that others be judged according to a fixed moral standard but invoke a subjective one when our own behavior is questioned. We demand justice when we perceive ourselves to be victims of wrongdoing but we surround ourselves with excuses when we do something wrong.

11. Today’s students have grown up with the internet that they have become inseparable from their gadgets. Blake (2017) offers helpful reminders to young professionals in terms of social skills in the modern age. The situation underscores the importance of educating students in what could be called social literacy to ensure their academic and career success.

12. Situational Awareness in the Workplace An ability to read social situations illustrates strength to employers – quickly picking up on a client’s mood or expectations in various business or cross-cultural situations can be the difference between success and failure.

13. Social Intelligence in Technological Communication While email has deformalized much of the communication process, students still need to ensure that their writing denotes respect and provides enough context for professors (or future employers) to readily respond.

14. Social Intelligence in Traditional Communication While email has taken over as the primary method of communication, traditional modes of discourse still exist. An ability to craft these types of document illustrates an understanding of social expectations and denotes a level of respect or appreciation.

15. Other common issues or challenges in teaching social literacy include: Individual Differences Lack of Social Motivation Emotional Regulation Peer Influence Limited Opportunities for practice Cultural Differences Inconsistent Reinforcement Technology and Social Skills Parental Involvement Frustration and Self-doubt

16. Individual Differences Each child is unique and may have different levels of social understanding, temperament and needs. What works for one child might not work for the other child.

17. Lack of Social Motivation Some children might not be motivated to develop social skills, especially if they have had negative experiences with social interactions in the past.

18. Emotional Regulation Children who have difficulty controlling their emotions may struggle with maintaining appropriate behavior in social settings.

19. Peer Influence Peer interactions can be unpredictable and often have a significant impact on a child’s ability to navigate social situations.

20. Limited Opportunities for Practice Sometimes, children may not have enough opportunities to interact with their peers in structured or meaningful ways.

21. Cultural Differences Social skills can vary significantly depending on cultural norms. What is considered polite in one culture may not be the same in another culture.

22. Inconsistent Reinforcement Social skills development requires consistent reinforcement and practice. If one environment is not reinforcing the same skills as the other, children may struggle to apply their skills consistently.

23. Technology and Social Skills In an age where children are increasingly engaged with technology (such as smartphones and video games), face to face social interactions may become less frequent.

24. Parental Involvement Parental involvement in the process is the key, but some may not have the resources or knowledge to help their children develop these skills.

25. Frustration and Self-doubt Children who struggle with social skills may feel frustrated or ashamed of their inability to connect with others, which can lead to low self-confidence or self-doubt.
