Social networks are pivotal for learning. Yet, we still lack a full understanding of the mechanisms connecting networks with learning outcomes. Here, we present the results of a large scale study (946 elementary school children from 45 different classrooms) designed to understand the social strategies used by elementary school children. We mapped the social networks of students using both, a non-anonymous version of a prisoners dilemma and a survey of nominated friendships, and compared the strategies played by students with their GPAs. We found that higher GPA students invest more strategically in their relationships, cooperating more generously with friends and less generously with non-friends than lower GPA students. Our findings suggest that the higher selectivity of social capital investments by high performing students may be one of the mechanisms helping them reap the learning benefits of their social networks.
Identifying the factors that influence academic performance is an essential part of educational research. Previous studies have documented the importance of personality traits, class attendance, and social network structure. Because most of these ana
In this paper, we provide a statistical analysis of high-resolution contact pattern data within primary and secondary schools as collected by the SocioPatterns collaboration. Students are graphically represented as nodes in a temporally evolving netw
We investigate gender homophily in the spatial proximity of children (6 to 12 years old) in a French primary school, using time-resolved data on face-to-face proximity recorded by means of wearable sensors. For strong ties, i.e., for pairs of childre
Little quantitative information is available on the mixing patterns of children in school environments. Describing and understanding contacts between children at school would help quantify the transmission opportunities of respiratory infections and
Quantitative understanding of relationships between students behavioral patterns and academic performances is a significant step towards personalized education. In contrast to previous studies that mainly based on questionnaire surveys, in this paper
