Abstract

Introduction: Helping a child to become a socially adequate person is one of the objectives of nursery school education. The amount of acceptance or rejection a child receives from members of his peer group affects his social adjustment to the group and may carry over to his adjustment in other groups. A teacher who realizes the importance to a child of acceptance by others can guide the child toward more acceptance by the group or toward a better understanding of his position within the group. One of the ways of determining the degree of acceptance or rejection in a group of nursery school children is through the use of the sociometric test.
