Evaluation of Critical Periods During the Development of the Personality In Terms of Religious Education
Öz
It cannot be thought that academic study of behavioral changes in the individual will yield successful results unless it takes into account the data from psychology examining human behavior. This process, which requires full collaboration, compels education, whose topic and input is the person, to carefully review the data provided by psychology. The science of psychology talks about the existence of critical periods and turning points in a person's life. So much so that if these periods, which are vital in the development of the personality, cannot be evaluated correctly it will become that much harder for the expected development and change to be provided. Psychoanalysis, which we can accept as the first theory of personality, presents us with important data concerning the critical periods in a person's life. It will be seen that this study conducted by the documentation method points out important processes that should not be neglected in terms of religious education when the data are examined carefully. According to Freud, personality development is largely completed in the first five years. No notable change in personality
ever takes place after the age of five. It can be said that Adler also advocates this opinion to a large extent. Taking a more optimistic approach, Sullivan points out that mistakes made in the first five years can be made up for in the preadolescent period. The onus here largely falls on schools. Advocating life-long development, Erikson places the greatest importance on the adolescent period. Known as the ideological period, this cycle expresses a period in which major breaks in adolescents' development can take place. According to Jung, the middle-age period is replete with risks and opportunities. Similarly, Erikson states the importance of ego integrity in old age. The concept of the subconscious and the development of the superego as expressed by Freud are important elements that must not be overlooked by religious educators. Organized and widespread religious education institutions, the first and most important of which is the family, must offer educational services by paying attention to the peculiarities of the critical phases in a person's life. Just as failure to take not of these phases' peculiarities could mean missing opportunities in terms of religious and moral development, it can also result in serious risks.
