摘要：Objective. Research found that for a good functioning of the instructive and educational process not only theteacher-student interaction is important but also the interaction among students. Many social psychology studieshave highlighted the importance of the effectiveness of interaction among students for the learning process. In thetraditional school, there is no emphasis placed on student cooperation, but modern pedagogy concluded that in manycases a good student-student relationship can improve the cognitive area. A united class is a favorable environmentfor the student, giving him/her confidence, feeling of worthiness, and freedom for the expression of the student’spersonality. In a class, we can appreciate and understand the dynamics of student relationships by observing thecollaboration between the students during classes, when solving a task. A benefit in terms of optimizing the trainingprocess emerges if the teacher knows who are the marginalized students within the group.The implementation of some elements of the Step by Step method can determine the increase of the cohesionwithin the group of students in physical education and sports lessons, by workshops.This paper investigates social structures, measuring the attraction and rejection that occurs among students,after applying the Step by Step methods and after applying traditional methods.Methods. To understand the dynamics of student relations, we used the socio-metric test research method,initiated by J. L. Moreno. Students were asked to name 3 colleagues in the order of preference, and then in the orderof rejection, starting from certain given situations.Results. The results of this article, related to the dynamics of student relations, provide a new opportunity toachieve an appropriate teaching-learning environment.Conclusions. The conclusions of our study reveal new perspectives in addressing the physical education andsports lessons by increasing the cohesion within the group of students.
