Students’ Dorms as Agents of Social Capital

Abstract

In this paper, we will try to prove one of our hypotheses, which is thatthe construction of social capital is present in students’ dorms. Thesocial capital of an educational institution such as a students’ dormis reflected in the mutual trust and cooperation of all elements of theeducation system. These are primarily pupils, educators and parents.Of great importance is the degree of mutual trust of students andeducators, especially the perception of students about it. Cooperationamong students does not exclude the rivalry. In the very concept ofthis paper, a case study will be applied to the example of secondaryschool students’ homes on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
