The current study aimed to investigate the role of E-learning platforms in achieving emotional and social learning outcomes from the teachers' perspective (5-12). The study sample consisted of (286) male and female teachers in Al-Batinah North Governorate, Sultanate of Oman during the Fall semester of the academic year (2020/ 2021). To achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher adopted the descriptive-analytical approach by using the questionnaire of the role of e-learning platforms in developing emotional and social learning outcomes that was translated and built up upon the questionnaire of (Zhoue & Ed, 2012) for emotional and social skills. The validity, reliability, and suitability for the Omani environment have been verified through the validity of arbitrators and discrimination coefficients. The results showed a mediating (positive) role of educational platforms in achieving emotional and social learning outcomes from the teachers’ perspective in Al-Batinah North Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. The results also showed statistically significant differences between teachers in terms of their recognition of e-learning platforms in achieving emotional and social learning outcomes in favor of male teachers, while showing no statistically significant differences in the role of e-learning platforms in achieving emotional and social learning outcomes attributed to the variable of years of experience.
