Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate self-concept in specific areas of students attending multigrade and single grade primary schools. The sample of the survey consisted of 698 pupils, aged between 11 and 12 years old, having no socioeconomic differences. All students were enrolled in multigrade and single grade primary schools of six Greek prefectures. The participants completed the ΄Student Self-Concept Scale΄ of Gresham, Elliott & Evans-Fernandez, (1993). The method for the selection of participants was based on the layered and block random sampling. The results of the survey showed that students attending multigrade schools have no significant differences, at least in most areas of their self-concept (academic skills and emotional behavior) nor in self-esteem (athletic performance, physical appearance, popularity), compared to peers of single grade schools. Furthermore, the social development of students in multigrade schools is not only incomplete but greater compared to the one of single grade schools. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.17.12.7
