Abstract

In this study, we wanted to conceptualize social and emotional competencies for secondary school students and develop tools for measuring social and emotional competencies. This reflects the need to develop social and emotional competencies along with cognitive achievement. Based on the various literature, three social competency constructs (community consciousness, collaboration, conflict resolution) and two emotional competency constructs (stress coping, resilience) were selected as social and emotional competency constructs, and scenario-based self-reporting questions were developed. Based on the developed items, the questionnaire was conducted to the middle and high school students and the goodness of the items was verified. A total of 36 items, including 21 items of social competence and 15 items of emotional competence, were confirmed as the final scenario-based self-reporting scale items. Based on the results of the study, the limitations of the study were put forward and a follow-up study was proposed. For the further study, the national level Social-Emotional index has to be developed to measure the students’ grouwth as a whole.
