Social competence features of a primary school and gymnasium 10th grade students

Object of a research: social competence features of 10th grade students. Goal of a research: to reveal social competence features of teenagers. Tasks of a research: 2. Investigate, based on type of school, primary school and gymnasium 10th grade student’s level of a social competence. 3. Compare, based on a gender, primary school and gymnasium 10th grade student’s level of a social competence. Hypothesis: 10th grade students in primary schools are less socially competent than 10th grade students in gymnasiums. Conclusions: 1. Research established that, social competence level of gymnasium students is not always higher than that of primary school students. In many cases results such as: general self-confidence, resistance to failures and criticism, ability to express feelings, uncompromising, the ability to request, feeling of not guilty, were statistically insignificant (p>0,05). Although, it is possible to state that in a situation when someone asks for a help, social competence level of a 10th grade student in a gymnasium is higher than that of a 10th grade student in a primary school. 2. In addition, study shows that girls and boys data differs. In girls group, half of study results (general self-confidence, resistance to failures and criticism, uncompromising, feeling of not guilty) were statistically insignificant (p>0,05) and other half of study aspects (ability to express feelings, the ability to request, in a situation when someone asks for a help) results were statistically significant (p0,05). It is possible to state that only in a situation when someone asks for a help, social competence level of a 10th grade student in a gymnasium is higher than that of a 10th grade student in a primary school
