SOCIOMETRY AS AN ONTOLOGICAL EXPLICATION TO THE QUESTION OF THE GENESIS OF OUTSIDERS

Abstract

The article considers partially the issue of children’s eligibility for sociometric procedures. The experts analyzed the peculiarities of filling out questionnaires. The attention was drawn to the relevance of the students’ answers to the requirements of the questionnaire. The peculiarities of the reaction of elementary school students to sociometric and referentometric nature are described. Observations were conducted to determine the age of the child’s fitness for a sociometric procedure; it was concluded that ten-year-old children can, with sufficient accuracy, understand and answer sociometric and referentometric questions. The peculiarities of writing and filling the sociometric questionnaires were analyzed. The research was conducted in order to reflect the processes that accompany the phenomenon of education outsidering in the children’s team. A description of the reasons accompanying the launch of the phenomenon of “rejection” is made. The conclusion is that a teacher, a practical psychologist, or parents, dealing with the problem of a child-outsider should act not only on the main reason that led to this, but also on the accompanying rise that accompanies this phenomenon and thus can achieve a certain social effect and improved stay of the child in the group.
