Does School Uniform Change Different Aged
Childrens Behavior?

Why I did this research

• I wanted to find out what effects school uniform
  gives to different aged children in their daily
  school life. Does wearing school uniform change
  the way a childs attitude and behavior currently
  is? I also wanted to find out whether children
  prefer school uniform or not. I wondered whether
  wearing clothing of their own choice would make
  any difference to children at school.

How I did my research

• To find out the answer to my research question, I
  sent out a questionnaire. I did this to find out
  how children of different ages felt about school
  uniform, changing the design of it or even
  removing it. I sent out my questionnaire to
  children in Year 4 aged around 9 in Oxley Park
  Primary School and children in year 8 aged around
  13 in Hazely School to get a good comparison
  between to ages.

What I found out Question 1
The degree of Agreement is the way the children
marked their answer in my questionnaire. It is
scale of 1 to 10. 1 is strongly disagree, 10
means strongly agree, and 5 means in the middle.
The number of children represent the amount of
children who chose the number in the scale. The
results to this question show that most year 8
children dont like wearing school uniform
whereas most year 4 children say they do.

Conclusions

• After I received my results from the two year
  groups, I analyzed the data I received and came
  to a conclusion. The data that I have, proves
  that most year 4 children think that school
  uniform is not too bad but would like to make a
  few changes to it but on the other hand, most
  year 8 children do not like school uniform much
  at all.
