RESEARCH BACKGROUND

According to oxford dictionary, Sociology is the study of the

development, structure and functioning of human society.
Bearing this in my mind, the most essential group in our society
are children. Unsocializing children will prevent them to grow into
a useful and functioning citizen.
Quiet children are lacking in confidence to face worldly
challenges because they are too afraid to socialize. Majority of
these pupils are showing low performance too in their academic
field. Thus, there is connection between communication skills
with pupils performance in academic.
Current parents are not aware of the importance of
socializing. The advantage of an individual with strong socializing
skill is increases ones self confidence, increases ones ability to
communicate for daily life routine , increases ones ability to
communicate in order to solve problems. In a nutshell, these
individuals are better prepared to face worldly challenges and
are able be a successful person in the future.
In order to train for social environment children must be
properly socialized. Our world provides an unlimited potential for
learning and growth and exploration as well as unlimited
opportunity to meet people.

observed and recorded directly

from respondents. The
information collected is directly
related to the specific research
problem identified. All the
questions that I ask the

all the different respondents
understand it.

further be divided into
observations and surveys.
Fifth month

outside the community for some
purpose other than the current

Intrepreting and
Analysing Research
Findings
a. Statistical Findings

The first step in drawing

conclusions from the surveys
done is the tabulation of the
data. In most cases crosstabulation may be quite useful.
Statistical interpretation focuses
on what is typical, outstanding or
what deviates from norms or
averages. The analysis must be
straightforward for everybody to
understand.

b.Reporting Research
Findings

An important step is to prepare

report of the research findings. I
must take a clear objective look
at the findings to see how well
the gathered facts answer the

fundamental research question

posed in the beginning. I must
recognise the needs and
expectations of the report which
relates to this research. This
does not mean that I must give
the user the answer he expected
but must be objective and
unbiased.

1.7 THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RESEARCH

The reason of violence in children from peers (2) , Up to 18% of

school-age children are being bullied at any one time (Olweus, 1989)
and in many families and cultures corporal punishment is seen as not
only acceptable but necessary (Straus & Donelly, 1993).
The current context of socializing has changed whereby thru
Internet services such as Facebook and Twitter. This type of socializing
doesnt enhance a persons confidence in a real world scenario.
The purpose of this research is create awareness among
Malaysia parents that high grade alone doesnt guarantee an individual
success in real world environment. Children are required to have
healthy socializing skill in order to survive in the world. Thus, Malaysian
parents need to know what the consequent of unsocializing children
are and what would happen to them when they are an adult. In order
to be a successful person, every individual need to have a good
socializing
skill.
