Social Skills Improvement System

This study described the development of the Social Skills Improvement System Social Emotional Learning Edition Rating Forms (SSIS SEL RF) for teachers, parents, and students. This new multirater assessment is a reconfiguration of the SSIS Rating Scales items inspired by the CASEL Social Emotional Competency framework. The internal structure and score reliability estimates were examined across three raters for a common sample of more than 200 individual children ages 3 to 18 years. Confirmatory factor analyses tested against the CASEL five-dimensional SEL theoretical model demonstrated adequate fit for the SSIS SEL Parent and Student RFs and mediocre fit of the Teacher RF. Internal consistency, test-retest, and interrater reliability estimates for scores on each of the SSIS SEL RFs all met or exceeded acceptable criteria. Thus, researchers and practitioners interested in measuring the social–emotional behavior of children ages 3 to 18 can expect reliable scores and structurally meaningful behavior content within the Collaborative on Academic Social Emotional Learning (CASEL) SEL competency framework. Limitations to the present findings and suggestions for future research conclude the report.

Social Skills Improvement System

The current study examined the psychometric properties of a set of maximally efficient items (SMIs) from the Social Skills Improvement System–Teacher Rating Scale (SSIS-TRS). Sixty-three teachers rated 302 second through sixth graders on these SMIs, and several concurrent validity measures were administered. Results provided initial support for the validity of scores from the SMIs. Implications for practice and psychological research are discussed.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan sosial siswa dalam pembelajaran IPS melalui outdoor activity sebagai metode pembelajaran. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas dengan subjek penelitian siswa kelas VIIA SMP Negeri 1 Kaligondang Kabupaten Purbalingga. Penelitian ini terfokus pada peningkatan keterampilan sosial siswa. Data peningkatan keterampilan sosial diperoleh melalui pengamatan, wawancara, dokumentasi, yang selanjutnya dianalisis untuk dibandingkan: (1) hasil pengamatan sebelum tindakan dan sesudah tindakan, dan (2) hasil pengamatan keterampilan sosial tiap siklus yang didukung oleh tanggapan berbagai pihak. Sebelum dilakukan tindakan, peneliti melakukan pengamatan keterampilan sosial dengan hasil rerata 2,79. Pada penerapan outdoor activitiy siklus I diperoleh skor rerata sebesar 3,12 (kategori cukup). Pada penerapan outdoor activity siklus II diperoleh skor rerata sebesar 3,69 (kategori baik). Pada penerapan outdoor activity siklus III mengalami peningkatan dengan skor rerata 4,16 (kategori baik). Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan keterampilan sosial siswa pada prasiklus, siklus I, siklus II, dan siklus III, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan metode outdoor activity dalam pembelajaran IPS dapat meningkatkan keterampilan sosial pada siswa. Dengan demikian metode pembelajaran dengan outdoor activity layak diterapkan dalam pembelajaran IPS sebagai salah satu kegiatan pembelajaran, khususnya untuk meningkatkan keterampilan sosial siswa.

This was a classrooms action research study involving grade VIIA students of SMP Negeri 1 Kaligondang Purbalingga regency. This study focused on improving the social skill. The data of improvement of social skills were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, which is then analyzed for comparison: (1) the result of observations before and after the actions, and (2) the result of observation of social skills of each cycle supported by responses from different  parties. Before the actions, the researchers conducted observations of social skills and the mean score was 2.79 (in the moderate category). Through the application of the outdoor activitiy in cycle I obtained mean score of 3.12 (in the moderate category). Through the application of the outdoor activity in cycle II obtained mean score of 3.69 (in the good category). Through the application of outdoor activity in cycle III, the student’ social skill improved, with a mean score of 4.16 (in the good category). Based on the result of the observations of students' social skills on precycle, cycle I, cycle II, and  cycle III, it can be concluded that the application of the learning method of outdoor activity in Social Studies can improve social skills in students. Thus the method of learning with outdoor activity feasible in learning social studies as one of the learning activities, in particular to improve the students’ social skills. Keywords: social skills, outdoor activity, social studies learning at junior high school.

Systems Of Support

Despite the need for assessments targeting social and emotional learning (SEL) skills within multitiered systems of support, there are few brief SEL measures available. To address this need, this article describes the development of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Brief Scales-Teacher Form (SSIS SEL b-T), a significantly shorter version of the Social Skills Improvement System—Social and Emotional Learning Edition Rating Form-Teacher (SSIS SEL RF-T). Using the SSIS SEL standardization sample and item response theory, we identified efficient sets of items for each SSIS SEL RF-T scale and examined psychometric evidence for resulting scores. In general, SSIS SEL b-T scales functioned well and very similarly to scores from corresponding SSIS SEL RF-T scales. One exception was the Self-Awareness scale which, similar to its long-form counterpart, exhibited several content and psychometric limitations. Results provide initial psychometric evidence for a time-efficient teacher-informant measure of SEL competencies with promise for use within multitiered systems of support.

Parents' and teachers' ratings of social skills and behavioural problems for 89 special education students aged 8 to 15 yr. were measured using the Social Skills Rating System of Gresham and Elliott. The sample was selected in a school for educable mentally retarded children in Shiraz, Iran. The low to moderate correlations between the two sets of ratings suggest that assessment of social skills and behavioural problems should include the use of different rating scales in more than one setting. Sex differences were not significant for parents' and teachers' ratings of these disabled children. The scores showed high internal consistency.

The Impact

The social skill of persons with disabilities has been found to influence employment, schooling, friendships, community involvement, and overall quality of life. However, the ability of researchers and practitioners to assess social skills has been limited by reliance upon paper and pencil recording procedures. The development of computer technology offers refinement and expansion of the ability to adequately assess social skills. In this paper, the impact of technology on assessing social skills in persons with disabilities is addressed in terms of describing the technology, implications of the technology, and the role of micro versus macro analysis.
