    Peer Group as a

    Socializing Agent
    JD TARBET
    Observation Information

    District: West Ada


    School: Meridian High School
    Teacher: Mrs. Judy Grossklaus
    Grade/Subject: High School study group/special ed.
    Class Demographics
    Ages: 14-18
    Race: Primarily White
    Average Income: Middle Class
    Class size: 5-10
    What are peers?

    Peers or a peer group is a group of people in similar positions, or


    share an attribute with each other, i.e. age, socioeconomic
    standing, career, ethnicity, etc.
    Socializers: Often peers are the people we connect with most
    based on a shared interest, position, or belief.
    They fill a need we have to belong or be in a group.
    Why are peers important in a
    childs development?
    Group mentality
    Formation of interests and beliefs
    Aid in learning; Express understanding in different forms of
    information, as well as cooperation
    Help learn to deal with their fellows
    Peer Groups as a Socialization
    Agent: Emotions
    Peer groups help develop communication skills, (acceptability of
    actions and reactions).
    Groups aid in a students understanding of their own capabilities.
    Often a group will have varying forms of punishment and reward
    for particular actions of its members, but typically they are subtle
    and not blatantly seen, such as hierarchal status,
    respect/perception, or the more drastic, rejection.
    Peer Groups as a Socialization
    Agent: Social
    Competence/Conformity
    Peer Groups help children learn about social negotiation:

    popularity, power structures (i.e. leaders/followers), manipulation
    Students would often vie for attention, either through academic
    discussion, or through engaging in a more social
    interaction/discussion.
    The younger students of the class, during class discussion and
    story sharing, would try to give a personal story, even if it related
    little to the discussion at hand in an attempt to be relatable to
    the group. (ex. One student often brought up, in great detail, his
    hunting trips to impress myself and other students when we
    hadnt even approached the topic of hunting.)
    Socializing Mechanisms: Modeling

    Students often emulate each other, basing their behaviors on the


    behaviors theyve either witnessed or behaviors of their
    friends/group
    This includes intellectual and educational endeavors. Example:
    Many of the students would be working on the same or similar
    assignments as their peers, being in the same or similar classes, and
    thus would seek the help of myself, the teacher, or their classmates.
    The teacher encouraged them to work together as much as possible,
    bouncing ideas off one another and relying on us if the need arose.
    Typically, the student being asked would demonstrate/model what
    needed to be done and repeated by the other students.
    Assignment

    Write a paragraph detailing an example of socializations


    influencing student development in the classes youve observed,
    or have personally gone through.
