FOSTERING RESPECT FOR LIFE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 29, Issue 5

Abstract

The respect for life educational process is extremely important for primary school. Psychologists assert that exactly the early school age strongly requires fostering the feelings of love, sensitiveness and help as the period is important for the mastering and establishing certain standards of behaviour. This is the key for the explanation of the different aspects of the teenager‘s behaviour in nature. If the teenager ravages nature, it means that parents, teachers and other educators have not paid enough attention to that age range when a certain standard of behaviour developed on the basis of some habit (Dzenuskaite, 1975). The empiric observations, statistic data and other sources of information confirm that we are experiencing a general decline of moral culture that comes along with increased human immorality, expressed by aggressiveness, cruelty, violence, roughness. These humiliating forms of disrespect are extremely characteristic for the present generation, even for teenagers. It could not be denied that fostering respect for life becomes an overall and highly relevant task for our society. An important point is to set out the conditions for the child to correlate with nature and on that basis to foster moral and aesthetic feelings in the junior school age. Presumably nobody could deny that fostering respect for life becomes a universally accepted and relevant objective of our society. It could responsibly be contended that society must reconsider its principles of the correlation with nature.
