The particular topic chosen for Nijmegen was the"Tiulation through education of the social development ofPUpils aged 412: an area of fundamental importance for aI . ^ personal development, yet one which has receivedelatively iittle explicit attention in the actual daytoday® of schools and virtually none as a subject for empiriciü""esearch as distinct from iirmchair philosophising. With a^ew exceptions it is only recently that investigations have•^en undertaken into how social growth might bencouraged within a school and how appropriate methods"iight be devised and evaluated.
