Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of online training in enhancing teachers' social and emotional skills, and to determine whether online training improves their ability to design social-emotional learning activities integrated with the curriculum.

Methods: The study followed a quasi-experimental design with a single group. A random sample of 52 Palestinian teachers was selected. They answered a pre-test before participating in the online training program and a post-test after completing the program. The study used paired samples, independent t-tests, and one-way ANOVA for data analysis. The teachers received online training via Microsoft Teams over a five-week period.

Results: The results indicated that online training was effective in enhancing teachers' social and emotional skills, as well as improving their ability to design social-emotional learning activities integrated with the curriculum.

Conclusions: The researchers recommended conducting future studies to investigate the impact of improving teachers' social-emotional skills on students' academic achievement, and to develop online training models that rely on self-directed online learning to enhance these skills.
