Türk Ailelerinde Aktif ve Geleneksel Çocuk Yetiştirme Yöntemlerinin Çocukların Davranış Gelişimine Etkisi

Öz

Bu makalede öncelikle bireylerin bazı güçlü kişilik özellikleri tartışılmış, ardından da bu kişilik özelliklerinden hareketle ailelerin geleneksel çocuk yetiştirme yöntemleri (t) ve aktif çocuk yetiştirme yöntemleri (a) irdelenmiştir. Bu amaçla iki farklı çocuk yetiştirme yönteminin sosyal yaşamdaki muhtemel sonuçlarına da yer verilmiş ve aktif çocuk yetiştirme yöntemlerinin geleneksel yöntemlere olan üstünlükleri vurgulanmaya çalışılmıştır. Buna göre geleneksel çocuk yetiştirme yöntemi daha çok toplumculuğu ön plana çıkarırken, aktif yöntem daha çok bireyciliği ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmada her iki yöntem Eğitim Felsefesi kapsamında karşılaştırılmıştır.
