Abstract: This study looks at how taking part in creative activities like drawing, music, drama, and craft helps students develop their social and emotional skills. These skills include understanding their own feelings, managing emotions, getting along with others, showing empathy, and making good decisions.
Students from different schools and classes filled out a questionnaire about how they feel and behave during creative arts activities. Their answers were used to measure their Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills and to see how often they participate in creative arts. Students were then grouped into “high participation” and “low participation” based on how involved they are in such activities.
By using statistical tests, the study checks three things: whether there is a link between arts participation and SEL skills, whether students who participate more in arts have better SEL skills than those who participate less, and whether there are any differences in SEL skills between boys and girls. The results will help teachers and schools understand how important creative arts are for students’ overall growth and may encourage them to include more arts-based activities in the curriculum.
