Exploring Social and Cognitive skills of Students in Online Classes: A Case Study under Bandura's Theory

Abstract

    The current research study in the paradigm of mixed method research tried to explore the social and cognitive skills of students in online classes. Social skills guide students to get a positive attitude in life (Sorlie, 2021)and cognitive skills help students to develop intelligence gain (Colling, 2022). The qualitative (content analysis) and quantitative (statistical means) interpretation of the data collected through surveys and online classroom observation was discussed under Bandura's social cognitive theory(2018). The discussion explored the sub-skills of social and cognitive skills practiced by the students in online classes of Pakistani universities and identified the role of social and economic factors affecting highlighted skills. In online classes, students practiced 37.5 Percent social skills and 62.5 Percent cognitive skills, which reflected the self-regulatory,forethought, self-efficacy and self-reflective capabilities of the students. Female students represented more social talk,whereas male students were more refined in their cognitive skills. The present research helped to unfold the techno features of online classes.
