| Research Abstract |
From the standpoint of the social constructionalism, the processes of the children's constructing peer group and their social interaction in the group play activities were observed longitudinally during three years. The video-taped data were collected in the natural settings of the Japanese kindergarten school, and microanalysis of their inter-actional processes were conduted. The main purposes of such microanalysis were to clarify the relationship between the peer interactive activities and the structures of their peer relationships.
The strucures of peer relationships of each three male groups of which we have observed among three years respectively, were different from each others, and patterns of their peer interactional activities during peer group plays were also uniques among them.
It was concluded that the strucures of interrelationships among peers have influenced upon their collaborative activities for doing the group play, and their unique strucutures of peer relationships among each three age groups were caused by the number of each age group member and the differences of degrees of the organization and the sophisticati on of group activities.
