Description

<p>The purpose of this study is to verify the change of social behavior of children who take part in camping and clarify the effect which organized camp has upon them, especially children in the lower classes at school. </p><p>The targets of this survey are 76 elementary school children in total; 17 children in the first, second grades, and as comparison targets, 26 children in the third, fourth grades, 33 children in the fifth and sixth grades. I investigated by using two methods of measurement which I developed independently; Camping Social Behavior Checklist, and Camping Social Behavior Counselor Rating Scale. </p><p>As a result, ifs showed that the prosocial behavior children in the lower classes increase in number. As for their antisocial behavior, it's proved that the number tends to increase in the general activity at camping included playing, in spite of a big decline in the situation when they should prepare their meals. Therefore I found a way of measurement and setting of a scene as new problems for this study. </p><p>In conclusion, this study shows that it's inclined for children in the first, second grades to behave socially at camping, that is, which means that organized camp has a great influence on children in lower classes which is an important time for teaching them to be sociable.</p>
