3 Social Skills that are very important for children who are rarely taught
1. Sharing Skills
Many students have difficulty sharing time and materials. This complication can bring serious management problems during cooperative learning lessons. Become a boss against other students, talk endlessly, and doing all the group work yourself are examples of students' inability to share. Dominant students are often carried out consciously and unknowingly due to their behavior towards other students or their group work.
2. Participatory Skills
Some students who dominate group activities, other students even do not want or cannot participate. Sometimes students avoid group work out of shame. Often shy students are very smart and can work alone well or with others. Students who are excluded are other types of students who have difficulty participating in group activities. Finally, there are certain students who choose, for any reason, to work alone and refuse to participate in cooperative group activities.
3. Communication Skills
everyone has experienced difficulties in giving ideas or feelings so that ideas or feelings are perceived accurately by listeners, and accurately, people experience the same difficulties in listening and interpreting what others say to us. Cooperative groups cannot function effectively if the group's work is marked by miscommunication.
There are four communication skills to avoid miscommunication, which is to repeat with their own sentences, describe behavior, describe feelings, and check impressions. These four skills are important and should be taught to students to facilitate communication in group settings.
