Abstract :
This study investigates the impact of cyberspace on the learning of social skills among secondary school students from the perspective of teachers in Hamoun County. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational method, the study surveyed 313 teachers using the Matson Social Skills Questionnaire. Results from Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses showed a significant positive relationship between cyberspace usage and five components of students’ social skills: appropriate social behavior, avoidance of antisocial behavior, reduced aggression and impulsivity, reduced superiority seeking, and improved peer interaction. These findings highlight the dual potential of cyberspace in enhancing or weakening students’ social development depending on how it is used
