“…In the literature, while there was not any other research finding related to the level of teaching of social skills of preservice teachers, there were studies that examine the social skill levels of teachers and preservice teachers who were studying at various program types rather than the level of teaching of social skills of preservice teachers (Girgin, Çetingöz, and Ekinci Vural, 2011;Sevan & Yoldaş, 2007;Tepeli & Arı, 2011;Yalçın, 2012). Moreover, in the literature, there were studies that focused on teachers' level of knowledge related to the teaching of social skills (Cheney & Barringer, 1995;Çolak, Vuran, and Uzuner, 2013;Güner Yıldız, 2017;Lane, 1999;Lane, O'Shaughnessy, Lambros, Gresham, and Beebe-Frankenberger, 2001;Lane, O'Shaughnessy, Lambros, Gresham, and Beebe-Frankenberger, 2001;Lane & Menzies, 2005;Sazak-Pınar, 2009Vuran & Çolak, 2007). In these studies, it was found that the teachers' level of knowledge related to the teaching of social skills was low.…”
