Abstract Psychosocial skills are essential competencies that enable teacher trainees to interact effectively with learners, manage classroom challenges, and create a supportive learning environment. These skills include communication, empathy, stress management, interpersonal relationships, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. The present article examines the influence of psychosocial skills on the classroom performance of teacher trainees enrolled in B.Ed. programs. The study draws upon principles from humanistic psychology and social learning theories, emphasizing the interconnectedness of emotional, cognitive, and social development in shaping teaching behavior. Existing literature indicates that teacher trainees who possess strong psychosocial abilities demonstrate higher instructional clarity, improved learner engagement, and better conflict management. This article adopts a descriptive research framework to analyze how psychosocial skills affect key dimensions of classroom performance, such as lesson delivery, student interaction, and management skills. Results from previous studies and model-based discussions suggest that psychosocial skills significantly enhance teaching effectiveness by promoting self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. The findings highlight the need to integrate psychosocial competency development into teacher education curricula to produce emotionally stable and socially sensitive teachers. The article concludes that psychosocial skills serve as a crucial foundation for effective classroom performance and are indispensable for modern teacher training programs.
