| Description | This study examines how students' identities are co-constructed through educational experiences. We analyzed narratives of fifth and seventh-grade students from two private alternative schools in the Czech Republic. The findings reveal that students identified with friends, had positive relationships with teachers and the school, and experienced interesting education, closeness, and respect. These insights highlight typical identity characteristics for their age group and emphasize the importance of positive educational experiences in shaping students' identities. This study contributes to research on narrative identity and the role of alternative private schools in primary and lower secondary education. |
