Answer 2

It really depends on the age of the pupils in question. The younger the students, the easier it will be to tell with who they do or don't get along with.
For example, one other answerer suggested a questionnaire handed out to the pupils. It's a very good idea for young pupils, who will answer honestly and without reserve, but older pupils (i.e. teenagers) may not be so helpful.
One way to determine the nature of the relationships between the different students without relying on their helpfulness is rotating groupwork--groupwork where the teams are regularly changed. The activities should be quick, rapid, and requiring a team effort. The teams should be picked by the students the first round and then changed by the teacher (you), one or two students per group at a time (depending on group size), for subsequent rounds. The idea is that the further you will go into the exercise, the more small social subgroups will dissociate and the more you will explore individual relationships between students.
One way you might want to collect this information is as a web diagram: on a sheet of paper, write the name of each student so that they are each about equally far from each other. In the groupwork, when you notice two students that work very well together, draw a line between the two names in, say, green. When they work moderately well together, draw a line in blue. When they don't work well together, draw a line in red. If all goes well, you should get a lot of green at first, and then you should progressively move into the blue and red as students who don't usually work together are forced into the same group. This technique is great for evaluating the dynamics of the group as a whole.
You can also perform this test several times throughout the year to determine how relationships between students are changing and how the group as a whole is developing better (or worse) interpersonal skills.

Answer 3

On television there have been reports of psychosomatic effects resulting from interpersonal relationships. People's eyes get wider, pupils enlarge, and their feet do anything but stand still. Or you could just reach out and give that special someone a massage [I tried it and I earned a new name].

Answer 4

You ask at each pupils to writte on a paper (which is anonyme) : - - with who would u like to play ?
- with who wouldn't u like to play ?
- with who would u like to work ?
- with who wouldn't u like to work ?
After u give a number for each pupil and u make a schema to present all the answer on this scema u will see interpersonal relationships, u will see who is alone, whi is the leader...
I don't know the name of this test but it exist and it is really interesting.
I hope u understand me because my englis is quite poor and it's not easy for me to explain this kind of stuff!!!

Answer 5

Try the Johari window, it works great.
A Johari window is a metaphorical tool intended to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. It is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.
