Abstract
The presented article deals with the description of the socialization of basic school pupils, i.e. pupils in younger and middle school age, who fulfill the compulsory school attendance in the form of individual education (homeschooling) in the context of the legislation of the Czech Republic. In the context of fulfilling the article aim, we formulated three research questions, which were evaluated using quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire survey. The research confirmed that parents of homeschoolers significantly support their children in participating in organized leisure activities and are actively involved in mediating their child's contact with other children. In the comparison of the examined groups there were no significant differences in how the children perceive their friends, what their favorite activities are or how much time they spend with them. The difference was more noticeable in the parental approach in education, when setting some rules. This article can outline areas that can be further explored in more detail and compared in context.

Summary
Socialization is considered to be the most discussed topic in homeschooling, and insufficient socialization is the most frequently cited reason for opponents of this alternative style of education. Sports clubs or other social facilities, children from homeschooling have the opportunity to get in touch with a very wide range of peers, as well as with an age-heterogeneous team [19] Another way to be in contact with other homeschooling-based families are social networks, through which it is possible to connect with families operating homeschooling from all over the country. The definition of the basic elements of secondary socialization and socialization in the context of Czech homeschooling according to foreign information sources could create ambivalence in the issues addressed and the irrelevance of the information and data used In this part of the article, attention is paid to general issues of socialization of children in the educational process with regard to the development of the child's personality. The identified outputs are summarized here in the form of answers to research questions, they are compared with the outputs of available research focused on the socialization of homeschoolers again with the above reasons using primarily Czech information sources
