Today, a study from Iowa State University released findings from their research on the role of teacher guidance in social skills development for elementary school students. The study found that while teacher guidance is an important factor in the development of social skills, the quality and amount of guidance can vary significantly. For example, the study found that teachers who provided more guidance and support to their students in social skills development had students who showed more social competence, while those teachers who gave minimal guidance had students who showed little to no improvement in their social skills. This study provides important insight into the role of teachers in the social development of their students and how important it is for teachers to provide adequate guidance to ensure that their students have the tools they need to succeed in social situations.
