Analýza sociálnych sietí si svojim širokým využitím nachádza miesto v množstve vedeckých odborov. V pedagogickom výskume má potenciál odhaliť a preskúmať doteraz neznáme usporiadania vzťahov medzi aktérmi vo vzdelávaní. Tento článok poskytuje úvod do problematiky, techník a využitia analýz y sociálnych sietí v pedagogickom výskume. V prvom rade predstavuje základnú terminológiu a koncepty analýz y sociálnych sietí. Na príklade malej siete ilustruje základné sieťové výpočty tak na úrovni jednotlivých aktérov, ako na úrovni celej siete. Článok ďalej poskytuje stručný prehľad štúdií z pedagogického výskumu, v ktorých bola analýza sociálnych sietí využitá. Hlavná časť článku na príklade fiktívnej triedy a piatich výskumných otázok ukazuje možnosti analýz y sociálnych sietí v pedagogickom výskume od základnej prierezovej analýz y po dynamickú inferenčnú analýzu. Krok za krokom sú predstavené rôzne metódy s následnou interpretáciou ich výsledkov. Okrem výpočtov centralít, klastrovacieho koeficientu a prepojenosti siete sú v príkladoch predstavené aj permutačné testy pri testovaní významnosti za využitia sieťových dát, ERGM (exponential random graph models) a STERGM (separable temporal exponential graph models). V neposlednom rade sú prediskutované problémy spojené s využitím analýz y sociálnych sietí.

We provide a brief insight into the integration of Ukrainian refugees in school social networks in the Czech Republic following the mass migration caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our sample contains twelve classrooms with a total of 266 students in grades 5 to 9; 21.05% of the students were of Ukrainian origin. We employed multiplex exponential random graph modelling to assess the level to which Ukrainian refugees were integrated within peer networks, capturing both friendship and exclusion ties. We then employed a meta-analytical procedure to aggregate the results from the individual classrooms and a meta-regression to study the relationship between classroom ethnic composition and the level of integration of Ukrainian refugees. We found social networks to be formed heavily along ethnic lines with strong ethnic homophily in friendship ties and a propensity of the Ukrainian students to both send and receive fewer friendship ties than their Czech classmates. We found no evidence that the Ukrainian students sent or received more exclusion ties than their Czech classmates, suggesting that the Ukrainian students did not face explicit rejection from classmates; rather, we saw a tendency of the Ukrainian students to be neglected. Our findings stand in contrast to reports from school headmasters who asserted that the social integration of Ukrainian students was seamless. We further found a higher proportion of Ukrainian students in classrooms to be related to stronger homophilic behaviour and a lower tendency of Ukrainian students to make friends. Our results therefore imply that increased classroom diversity may negatively influence the integration of refugees in social networks.

The aim of this explorative research study was to identify the relationship between the positions of individual students in their peer social networks and their classroom seating arrangement through sociometry and social network analysis. We examined the social networks of 17 classrooms comprising 363 students (183 boys, 180 girls) attending lower secondary schools (ISCED 2A). We found that positions in social networks could not be connected with single specific seating positions. Nonetheless, certain tendencies can be observed. Students who are perceived as more likeable sit in the middle column of the classroom and are seated close to each other. Locations inhabited by dominant students are positioned further from teachers and further apart from each other. The increase of the values of degree centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality is noticeable in desks positioned further away from the teacher. By comparing these results with studies examining seating arrangements as a means of distributing learning opportunities through student participation, specific zones can be observed in the classroom that could benefit the children seated there in their roles as students and at the same time in their roles as classmates.
