| Summary |
Functions of schools can be divided into "studying" and "fulfillment." Up to the present, schools have functioned well as places for study. However, schools are also places where people of the same generation gather and spend a lot of time together. As such, it is important to deepen as well as increase students' sense of fulfillment in order to position schools as places where they can interact with their friends. Additionally, it is crucial to teach students how to deepen friendships, communicate with the opposite sex, and be a part of groups through school. Since there is an element of immaturity in children’s interpersonal skills today, it is thought that interactional work is as important as academic pursuits. In this study, a questionnaire survey was administered focusing on the places where and times when children can experience joy in school, engage in interpersonal interactions in the classroom, and formulate friendships. |
