Evaluation of the relationship between social skills and citizen education in secondary school sociology books

Communicating and interacting effectively with others requires acquiring social skills, which results in personal and social health. The institution of education can achieve this through sociology lessons and train active and responsible citizens. For this purpose, in this research, with the help of sociological theories, we seek to investigate and explain the relationship between social skills and citizenship education in secondary school sociology books. The research method is descriptive and qualitative, which has been done through in-depth interviews with secondary sociology teachers. The results show that social skills have not been given much attention in sociology books and most of the content is conceptual and in the cognitive field, and are not mentioned concrete and behavioral examples of social skills and certainly, with this content, students are not familiar with the role of citizenship. Therefore, it is necessary to review the content of the books and work more in the field of skills and behavior.
