Analysis of the Evolution of Social Competence in Students Through Research Methods Based on Neutrosophic Sets

Abstract

The present study investigates the evolution of social competence in students through research methods based on set theory and the application of neutrosophic sets. The central question lies in how to accurately assess the development of social skills in educational contexts, given that traditional tools do not always capture the complexity of students' interactions and perceptions. The importance of this topic lies in the need for evaluation methods that faithfully reflect the growth in social competencies, vital for the comprehensive development of students in increasingly diverse and demanding educational environments. Despite the abundance of studies on social competencies, there is a significant gap in the integration of approaches that manage uncertainty and multiple dimensions of social skills. To address this gap, the study uses research methods based on set theory, specifically with neutrosophic sets, which allow for a more flexible and comprehensive assessment of social competencies. The applied methodology includes data collection through surveys and analysis of this data using neutrosophic techniques to capture the complexities and ambiguities inherent in the assessment of social skills. The results show that neutrosophic sets provide a more nuanced and precise view of the development of social competencies compared to traditional methods. The implications of the study are significant: it not only advances theoretical knowledge by introducing an innovative methodology for the assessment of social competencies but also offers practical tools to improve assessment and support students in their social development.
