INCREASING INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE AID OF SOCIOMETRIC PROCEDURES

Abstract

The faculty of Washington Park High School, Racine, Wisconsin, decided to put into practice activities which might accomplish greater personal and social development of students. It was agreed that the homeroom was the plate to start an experimental program, since there was no set program or organized body of subject matter to cover. Furthermore, the faculty was quite unhappy over the ineffectiveness of the homerooms. Teach- ers complained about poor groupings of students in their homerooms, that their groups had no leaders, and that they had more than their share of problem cases
