Abstract:

                 Social behaviour theories play a significant role in understanding how students interact, learn, and develop within educational environments. These theories emphasize the importance of social interaction, observation, and environmental influences on learning and behaviour. The present qualitative research paper explores major social behaviour theories and their implications for teaching, learning, and classroom management. The study uses a qualitative analytical approach based on the review of theoretical and empirical literature. Key theories such as Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, and Behaviourist perspectives are examined in relation to educational practices. The findings indicate that social behaviour theories contribute significantly to effective teaching strategies, collaborative learning, and positive classroom management. The study highlights that teachers act as role models and facilitators of social interaction, enabling students to develop cognitive, emotional, and social competencies. The paper concludes that integrating social behaviour theories into educational practices can enhance student engagement, cooperative learning, and positive classroom climate.
