Foreign Studies
Levinson(1996) tested the effects of Adolescent Competence Training
(ACT), self-esteem skill and social skills in an upper middle-class sub-urban
middle class. This study involved forty-seven eight gracers divided into
comparison and Treatment Groups at a Connecticut Middle School. Teachers
of the group administered the Piers-Harries Children Self-Concept Scale and
the ACT Questionnaire for Students. The author average Cognitive Index
Skills; by gender and with two previously studies, diverse population using
the ACT Questionnaires for Students.
The findings stated that ACT did not seem to have a positive effect on
self-esteem or social skills. Divided by CSI, higher level students scored
better than females lower. Lower socio-economic students made much
greater grains than this Treatment Group. Some possible conclusions made
were; (1) raising social skills and self-esteem is a very difficult task that
takes more time. (2) raising self-esteem and improving social skills using
ACT for females is in need of further study. (3) raising self-esteem and social
skills using ACT for females is better for lower socio-economic group in need
of further study; (4) raising self-esteem and social skills using ACT for
students of higher intelligence is in need of further study.

Conceptual Framework
Some people with high interpersonal skills have the ability to proper
communication skills in order to create and maintain good relationships
with other individuals. These individuals also believe that the ability to
successfully maintain these good relationships boosts the self-esteem,
which helps him to further improve his skills. One of these skills is the
ability to motivate and encourage other individuals. The ability to achieve
this successfully helps to maintain work morale and efficiency. By doing so,
he is capable of influencing others.
Every individual learns through the process of socialization. As stated
in the theory of Jean Piaget, every individual undergo series of stages and
as the child goes interaction with people around him takes place. And that
is when the process of learning and gaining self confidence occurs. With the
help of his significant others such as parents, brothers, sisters, relatives,
and other members of the society, he could be able to adapt and interact
with other people appropriately and accordingly.
Interpersonal skills are cultivated by the list of defined objectives. He
claims that every human being is able to establish partnerships with other
like-minded individuals to increase resources of idea. Another facet of
effective interpersonal skills is to give praise to cohorts when it is due.
Praise acts such as motivation to do a good job and make encouragement
and incentives for behaviors you want to continue seeing. Individual must
be able to help others reach their fullest potential by offering guidance,
benefit from being able to empathize with young people, to show that to
some degree they understand their world as they are experiencing it. It is
therefore true that giving of oneself to establish and maintain quality
relationships to others is one of the most challenging and an important
quality in dealing with other people.
Interaction with others creates wholesome interpersonal relationship
with their peers and other members of the community. Consequently, unity
prevails and gives each of us chance and ease to manage our behavior that
greatly affects our attitude toward intellectual and social path. People in
this category and usually extroverts, and are characterize by their
sensitivity to others moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations and
their ability to cooperate in order to work as a part of a group. They
communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and maybe
either leader or followers. They typically learn best by working with others
and often enjoy discussion and debate.

The paradigm shows the Profile of The Elementary Education Students and
level of their interpersonal skills.
It could be gleaned from figure 1 the relationship of the demographic
profile and interpersonal skills of Elementary Education Students. It has
been hypothesized from this study that demographic profile of Teacher
Education can be an independent variable that can affects the intrapersonal
skills of Elementary Education students (dependent variable). Furthermore,
there is no manipulation on the independent variables.
