Pedagogıcal Aspects of Famıly Functıonıng

Abstract

Various changes in the conditions of social functioning also affect family functioning. Respecting the personality and autonomy of the individual, the connection between the quality of family functioning and educational outcomes of children cannot be neglected. The pedagogical influence of the family on the individual is recognizable by the adopted value orientations and social norms, models of behaviour, learning strategies, ways of distributing power and taking responsibility; communication and ways of solving problem situations, as well as flexibility and expressiveness. Understanding family functions (economic, socio-emotional, religious, reproductive”¦) and their simultaneous impact on children, it is unjustified to interpret children's educational outcomes based on separate aspects of family functioning. Relevant research indicates that a number of latent and intervening variables are associated with children's educational outcomes, and therefore the family is accepted as a nonlinear dynamic system, so changes and children's outcomes are certain, but not easily predictable.
