REDEFINING THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF THE FAMILY

Anka Jurčević Lozančić ; Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, Croatia

Sažetak

Industrialization, the new concept of society, the recognition of human and citizen rights, have created a new social order and the concept of humanization. The consumer society suggests and requires new values, new relationships among people, new concept of time and space. The relationship between consumption and production, profit gain and acquisition of material goods lessens human spontaneity, the need to relax with one's family and friends, to give in to emotions, to research spirituality and to construct a quality relationship with oneself and others. In this context it is necessary to consider questions regarding the child, the family and its changed role. Education of children in modern living conditions needs to be viewed as a process, a role in the interaction with the entire social environment. With the intention of raising their child, parents do not apply pedagogical knowledge which is sufficiently modern (Maleš i Kušević, 2011). Moreover, uncertainties regarding parent rights and responsibilities are also present. Questions pertaining to parents and their competency for the role of mother and father become increasingly important. In this paper an overview of modern scientific knowledge which examines basic family values, relevant to education and child rearing in the context of modern society, is given.
