HISTORY OF SOCIOMETRY

The origins of socimetric techniques are based on the idea that induction methods that are carried out in applied sciences can also be applied in social sciences. (E.Durkheim&H.Spencer) J.L.Moreno(1934) ,who was affected by this idea,put forward sociometry theories and

techniques to the literature. Having been developed since 1950s in America, socimetry ,then,spread around Europe and other countries. IN OUR COUNTRY, upon colloborating with Moreno Uberliningen Institute for educational purposes in 1982 , a socimetry group was constituted in Ankara.

The importance and functions of Sociometry

It enables us to learn about the group dynamics and evaluate socialization levels of students after some social activities and their effects on reaching the intended goal. It helps school administration,teachers and counseling department by providing detailed information about the general structure & the social relationships of the group by preparing social plans&programmes to develop them in a better way and to find solutions to the problems. After applying these regulations,groups can be re-constructed to increase efficiency in their performance.

Due to being not an analyse of an invidual only,but the analyse of a person in a whole group, this technique gives us extensive amount of information about a lot of people at the same time. Sociometry also gives us a chance to identify the distance/closeness of the group members with eachother and the interaction net among them. Additionally,it is beneficial in preventing adaptation problems after having the application results in the hand.

What is A Sociogram?
A sociogram is a charting of the interrelationships within a group. Its purpose is to discover group structure: i.e., the basic "network" of friendship patterns and sub-group organization. The relations of any one child to the group as a whole are another type of information which can be derived from a sociogram. A sociogram's value to a teacher is in its potential for developing greater understanding of group behavior so that he/she may operate more wisely in group management and curriculum development. Sociograms may be constructed in a variety of ways. The methods described here re ones which teachers have used and found not too difficult or time consuming.
