| Abstract [eng] |
The Doctoral Thesis deals with child’s and teenager’s (10–18 years) private interior as the environment for socialisation and self-development. Child’s and teenager’s private interior is reviewed while investigating eco-systemic regularities of a child and the environment, peculiarities of child’s developmental ecology, interrelations between a child and the environment, features of child’s private interior and attributes of its impact. The child’s and teenager’s interior as the object of interdisciplinary research is conceptualised in the context of educational sciences (under the conditions of Lithuanian culture). By applying purposively chosen quantitative and qualitative (the qualitative research is based on the method of visual ethnography) research methods, the condition of child’s and teenager’s private interior in Lithuania has been investigated. On the ground of carried out quantitative and qualitative research results, major features of child’s and teenager’s private interior as the reflection of spiritual and material culture of the humankind as well as psycho-social constructs were revealed; physical (the built environment), psychological, socio-cultural, educational features and contexts of child’s and teenager’s private interior as a favourable instrument for socialisation and (self-)development were assessed; it is reviewed how child’s and teenager’s private interior corresponds to the humanistic, paedo-centrist, post-modern educational paradigms, the eco-systemic conception, how it meets the general and individual needs of a developing personality. |
