“Psychosocial Skills as Predictors of Teaching Competency among B.Ed. Trainees”

Abstract Teaching competency is a multidimensional construct influenced not only by pedagogical knowledge but also by teachers’ emotional and social preparedness. In contemporary educational contexts, teachers are required to manage diverse classrooms, maintain positive interpersonal relationships, and cope effectively with professional stress, highlighting the importance of psychosocial skills. Psychosocial skills encompass emotional regulation, communication, empathy, decision-making, problem-solving, and stress management, which are essential for effective teaching performance.
The present study examines psychosocial skills as predictors of teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and the study was conducted on a sample of 1000 B.Ed. trainees selected from 12 teacher education institutions in Palakkad District of Kerala using the stratified random sampling technique. Standardized tools were used to measure psychosocial skills and teaching competency. The collected data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s product moment correlation, and regression analysis.
The findings revealed that the majority of B.Ed. trainees possessed moderate to high levels of psychosocial skills and teaching competency. A positive and significant relationship was found between psychosocial skills and teaching competency. Regression analysis further indicated that psychosocial skills significantly predict teaching competency among B.Ed. trainees. The study underscores the importance of integrating psychosocial skill development into teacher education programs to enhance teaching effectiveness and aligns with the holistic vision of teacher preparation advocated by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
