Abstract: This study was conducted at SMAN 5 Cimahi with the aim of examining the relationship between students' social skills and their participation in physical education learning. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of how social interactions and interpersonal competencies correlate with students' engagement and performance in physical education classes. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, using a random sampling technique to select 58 respondents from a total population of 324 students. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed on a Likert scale, designed to measure levels of social skills and perceptions of physical education learning experiences. The analysis involved descriptive statistical techniques as well as Pearson product-moment correlation to examine the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. The results showed that there is a moderate (sufficient) correlation between students' social skills and their learning in physical education, indicating that students with better social abilities tend to demonstrate more positive engagement and interaction during physical education activities. These findings suggest that social competence plays an important role in shaping students' experiences and learning outcomes in physical education. Teachers are encouraged to incorporate collaborative and socially interactive learning strategies to further support the development of both social and physical competencies in school-based physical education programs.
