SUMMARY OF THE DISSERTATION PAPER

Strategies of optimizing the interindi id!a" re"ations of primar# "e e" st!dents thro!ghe$tra%!rri%!"ar a%ti ities

The present dissertation paper is divided in six chapters. In the first chapter I approached

problems related to the role of extracurricular activities in developing group cohesion . I described theclass of students as a school group, the relations of the individuals within the group and the groups

cohesion, the role of extracurricular activities for the optimization of the interindividual relations, the

extracurricular activities from The Different Wee ! period " all designed as part of the school

curriculum.

I further concluded the following# students will alwa$s cherish those relations that have

developed as a result of their common effort to achieve a purpose. The common effort achieved through

confrontation of ideas, acceptance of different opinions, exchanges of messages, and all ma e childrenopen up towards developing relations and favours their adaptation to various situations. This is the

reason wh$ the common effort needs man$ opportunities to ta e place, not onl$ in the school classroom

activities but also at extracurricular level.

took place , research entitled# %trategies of optimizing the interindividual relations of primar$ level

students through extracurricular activities!. I established the purpose and the aims of the research, the

wor ing h$pothesis, the research variables, I carried out the sampling of the content and of the sub&ects
