Sažetak
As a hegemonic form perceived as perfect and optimal, ideal family has the potential for excluding all family structures that cannot/do not want to reach that ideal. Unconscious cultivation of the hegemonic concept of ideal family is therefore problematic for experts who face different family structures in their everyday activities. The aim of this research was to determine how pedagogy students, as one of the above mentioned (future) experts, perceive one ideal family and the very concept of ideal family, as well as to determine the potential differences in those perceptions regarding year of study of pedagogy students. Research methods of analysis of drawings and content were used on a sample of 123 undergraduate and graduate pedagogy students. The results suggest that the students perceive ideal family mainly as a unit made of mother, father and several children, but they also signal the graduate students’ higher level of awareness of the fact that considering any family structure as ideal might be highly questionable. The concluding part of the paper discusses the implications of the described findings for future research and the curriculum of pedagogy courses.
