Abstract

Social skills are essential for pupils’ academic success and peer relationships, yet few studies have examined the internal factors that nurture these skills in the cooperative setting of elementary Social Studies (IPS). This study investigates the relationship between learning motivation and social skills among 42 fourth-grade students at a public elementary school. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed through two complementary methods. Simple linear regression (SPSS v29) was used to assess the direct effect of motivation, yielding a standardized coefficient (β) of 0.408 and an R² of 0.253, indicating that learning motivation explains 25.3% of the variance in students’ social skills, a moderate and meaningful effect. To validate this relationship, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS v4.0.9.9 produced a path coefficient of 0.714 (p < 0.001), confirming a strong, statistically significant influence. This study contributes to the growing literature on motivational determinants of student behavior, particularly in Social Studies contexts. The findings offer practical insights for educators, suggesting that integrating student-centered, engaging activities can enhance both motivation and the development of students’ interpersonal competencies.

Abstract

Despite the central role of social skills in students’ academic and interpersonal success, few studies have examined how internal psychological traits such as resilience and self-control jointly influence these skills in primary education. This study addresses that gap by investigating the influence of resilience and self-control on elementary students’ social skills. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research involved 240 students from grades IV to VI selected through total sampling. Data were collected through closed questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Instrument validity and reliability were tested using SmartPLS version 4.0.9.9, and analysis was conducted with IBM SPSS version 29.0.0.0. Classical assumption tests confirmed the data met normality, multicollinearity, and homoscedasticity criteria. Results indicated that both resilience and self-control had significant and positive effects on social skills, with self-control being the stronger predictor. The model explained 22.5% of the variance in social skills. These findings underscore the need to cultivate students’ internal strengths as part of socio-emotional learning and contribute to the refinement of character education in primary education settings.
