Abstract
Enhancing students' social skills is a central aspect of physical education. Peer teaching has
emerged as a promising strategy to foster collaborative learning and interpersonal development,
particularly in the context of football instruction. This study investigated the impact of peer
teaching on the social development of secondary school students learning football. A total of 104
students encompassing an experimental group (n = 52), which engaged in peer teaching, and a
control group (n = 52), which received no intervention participated in the study. Data were
collected using a structured questionnaire comprising 36 Likert-scale items. An Independent
Samples Test was employed to analyze differences in social development scores between the two
groups. Results revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s
social development scores. Students exposed to peer teaching demonstrated notable gains in selfawareness,
self-management, decision-making confidence, social awareness, and relationship
skills which are subscales of social development. These findings suggest that integrating peer
teaching into football instruction can effectively promote key social competencies. The study
underscores the value of peer teaching as impactful pedagogical approach within physical
education
