Description:
The paper proposes research into the role and importance of sociodramatic play in early education. Relevant literature is reviewed and then the writer proposes to concentrate on a closer examination of how elements from reality (including characters, objects etc.) are incorporated into the child's play, and on the relationships that develop within the group of children during sociodramatic play.

From the Paper:
"On the other hand, the dependent variable is the behavior of the child and, more specifically, the way that he integrates the independent variable (the puppets, in the case previously mentioned, but also the animals from the pet shop or actual activities, such as running the pet shop or being a puppeteer), into his socio dramatic games. At the same time, the dependent variable is also the way the integration of a new character or object from the existing reality is likely to influence the relationship between the children involved in the socio dramatic play, as the second objective of our study."The latter will probably be a more difficult observation to be recorded in a quantitative measurement, since it will rely very much not only on how often this happens, but on the underlying significance of the act at hand and of the social relationships between the children. It will also be important to determine whether or not that comes as a natural reflection of the integration of the element and characters from the real world or, in fact, from the capacity to be a leader/follower at all times. Even more importantly, this could also be due to the child's own natural characteristics rather than to the influences of the elements adopted from reality. Indeed, we do not know (and the study will not focus on this) whether leadership qualities are genetic or they come as a reaction of the interaction between a child/individual and society or the social relations that are formed between individuals."
