School life takes place in group spaces where group cohesion plays a fundamental role. The objective of this research is to analyze the group cohesion in groups of Higher Secondary Education schools in Havana. The sample consisted of 261 students, distributed in 7 groups of 4 schools (technical education, physical education and sports, pedagogical and artistic). The sociometric technique, Group Cohesion Scale, Questionnaire of Goals, Norms and Characteristics of the student, group sessions and the natural Observation to the teaching space were applied. The results show medium-low levels of cohesion, both in the attraction that groups exercise over their members and in their integration. In both cases the sphere of social relations reaches a greater development. All this is based on hierarchical structures, little connected and with low quality of links especially in the exercise of the task.
