Abstract
The study is concerned with the self-concept of social integration in children in mixed-age classes in the first year of school. It is a part of a larger overall study in which data was collected on performance development (written language acquisition and mathematics), personality development (self-concept in the areas of written language acquisition, mathematics, and self-esteem), and social attitudes and integration.
In a quantitative, longitudinal study carried out by the Institute of Primary Education Research, the characteristics, development, fittingness to the practical reality, and the stability of the self-concept of social integration of eight mixed-age classes were studied over the course of a school year. The question of whether the children felt more strongly integrated within their own year group compared to the other year groups was also considered. Lastly, we examined whether there was a difference between the growth of a self-concept of social integration between the children from the mixed-age year groups and the children from the classic single-age year groups.
