Abstract
-
This research includes a thorough analysis of "socialization" as a concept in several social scientific disciplines followed by a critique and a reformation of the concept from a dialectical perspective, a social integration. The aim is to study children's special social integration process in the classroom environment. Three issues are examined: (1) the relationship between parental and school values and the teacher's rating of the child's performance; (2) the relationship between knowledge and experience of the home and the school environment, and the teacher's evaluation of the children's skills and abilities; and (3) the relationship between the children's material home-life conditions and the (a) development of scholastic skills, abilities and knowledge as part of the school's learning process and the (b) teacher's conceptions of the children's learning and social integration process within the classroom. According to expectations the teacher underevaluated children whose home environments, family attitudes, childrearing practices and values had low congruence with hers; contrariwise she evaluated more positively or highly children whose home environments, family attitudes, childrearing practices and values were highly congruent with hers. The findings also confirm that the teacher underevaluated those children who had a wide range of home-related, self-care, tool-handling and a high overall score of domestic skills, and highly evaluated children who had a wide range of home-based, school-related, and a high overall score of academic skills.
