Abstract

A teacher's social responsibility is to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment for all students. Inside the school, teachers play a significant role in demonstrating a model of social personality, creating a peaceful school atmosphere and environment. In addition, a teacher's presence and central placement in the school can produce similar ripples across the neighbourhood, spreading the message of peace, social cohesion, collaboration, and building a peaceful society.

This research comprises three dimensions of a teacher’s social responsibilities: the social personality of the teacher, influence on the school atmosphere, and attitude towards the environment. These are essential dimensions for understanding teachers’ social responsibilities toward building a peaceful society.

This paper focuses on the social responsibilities of secondary school teachers toward building a peaceful society. The researcher used secondary school teachers as the sample. The snowball sampling technique, a non-probability sampling method, was used. The demographic variables included gender and years of experience of the teacher.

A descriptive survey was used. The researcher developed a tool to study teachers’ social personality, influence on school atmosphere, and attitude towards the environment. The findings of the study show that the mean social responsibility of females (62.6) is higher than that of males (58), and the mean of more than five years of experience (63) is higher than that of less than five years of experience (56.2). These findings will be helpful to secondary school teachers in modelling their social responsibilities toward building a peaceful society.

Keywords: Social responsibilities, social personality, School atmosphere, Environment, Peaceful society
