Bogastvo in mladi

Andromako, Alja (author), Lovšin Kozina, Francka (mentor)

V magistrskem delu je predstavljen pogled otrok na bogastvo. Proučevana tema je glede na razmere v svetu in pri nas zelo aktualna. Z magistrsko nalogo sem tako želela raziskati, kaj starejši in mlajši učenci razumejo pod pojmom bogastvo, katere lastnosti pripisujejo bogatim oz. revnim in ali morda zaznavanje materialnega standarda vrstnikov vpliva na medvrstniško vedenje. Zanimala me je tudi njihova dobrodelnost, ter pomembnost materialnih in socialnih dobrin. Kot metodo raziskovanja sem uporabila kavzalno neeksperimentalno metodo in deskriptivno neeksperimentalno metodo pedagoškega raziskovanja. Raziskava v katero je bilo vključenih 171 osnovnošolcev 2., 3., 8. in 9. razreda je pokazala, da starejši učenci bogastvo povezujejo z družino, prijatelji, mlajši učenci pa z bogastvom povezujejo predvsem igrače in denar. Ugotovitve kažejo tudi na to, da so vsi učenci pokazali veliko dobrodelnost in željo po podarjanju materialnih dobrin. Učenci revnim družinam pripisujejo več pozitivnih lastnosti, kot pa bogatim družinam. Mlajšim učencem so v primerjavi s starejšimi učenci bolj všeč vrstniki, ki imajo več materialnih dobrin, prav tako pa so tudi mnenja, da več bogastva vpliva na srečno in uspešno življenje. Raziskava je pokazala tudi, da so tako starejšim kot mlajšim učencem, tako deklicam kot dečkom, socialne dobrine v primerjavi z materialnimi dobrinami bolj pomembne. Kot je razvidno iz rezultatov, je proučevani temi smiselno nameniti pozornost tudi v okviru ekonomike pri predmetu gospodinjstvo in sicer z vključevanjem aktivnosti, ki bodo omogočale premagovanje stereotipov o neenakosti, drugačnosti, spodbujale dobrodelnost ter zdravo dojemanje bogastva.

Abstract

The master’s thesis presents a child’s view of wealth. This subject is highly relevant based on the current situation in the world and in Slovenia. This master’s thesis aims to study what schoolchildren–young and old–understand under the term wealth, which characteristics they attribute to the wealthy and which to the poor, and if perhaps recognising the material standard of their peers affects their relationship. The thesis also focuses on their generosity and the importance of material and social possessions. A causal non-experimental method and a descriptive non-experimental method of the empirical pedagogical research ware used. It includes 171 elementary school students from second and third as well as eighth and ninth grade, and shows that for older students being wealthy means having a family and friends, while younger students associate wealth with having toys and money. The findings of the research indicate that all students demonstrated they can be very generous and that they wish to donate material possessions. Students attribute more positive traits to poor families than rich families. Compared to older students, younger students prefer schoolmates who have more material possessions and they believe that having more wealth contributes to their happiness and success. The research also concluded that older and younger students–girls and boys–think that social possessions are more important compared to material possessions. According to the results, it would be reasonable to devote more attention to this particular problem within the school subject of Household Economics by introducing activities that would enable students to overcome their stereotypical beliefs about inequality and otherness, as well as encourage the students’ generosity and a healthy perception of wealth.
