Abstract
This study aims to explore Brief Social-Skills Education (Brief SSE), which is easily implementable by teachers. The objectives of the program were (1) to clarify the usability of a single session of brief SSE from the perspective of reducing teacher workload and anxiety about implementation, (2) to identify the human, temporal, and resource-related challenges teachers may feel about implementing psychoeducation from the perspective of usability, and (3) identify recommendations and considerations for implementing Brief SSE with teaching students. Our results established the significantly high usability of 29 of 34 Brief SSE items. The results also suggested that teachers should consider the application complexity, student responses, and connections with other classes to solve time-related challenges. Moreover, it was necessary to focus on the content of teaching materials to solve resource-related challenges. In addition, it is essential to develop context-appropriate materials and training programs to facilitate further use. It is suggested that future studies focus on context-dependent usability evaluation by practicing teachers and broadening the scope of the efficacy validation target population.
