Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of leadership skills training on the social empowerment of female student teachers. This research was conducted using a survey method, and data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of two main sections: the first section assessed leadership skills (including communication skills, problem-solving, time management, and classroom management), while the second section evaluated social empowerment (including self-confidence, social participation, and role in decision-making processes). The statistical population consisted of 100 female student teachers from various universities, selected randomly.The findings indicated that leadership skills training had a positive and significant effect on the social empowerment of female student teachers. Specifically, communication and problem-solving skills were more strongly associated with increases in self-confidence and social participation. Additionally, time management and classroom management skills positively influenced their individual capabilities in decisionmaking and fulfilling social roles.Overall, this study highlights the importance of leadership skills training for female student teachers and recommends the integration of such training into teacher education programs.
