Education and upbringing towards self-respect, subjectivism and pupil’s identity in the phase of puberty

In this elaboration four important existential issues were outlined: self-respect, subjectivism identity and puberty in the context of education and upbringing.

From the philosophical side subjectivism and self-respect are ontologically ascribed to every human being, whereas the sense of self-respect and subjectivism develop and affect human being’s identity. That is why the sense of self-respect and subjectivism are very important spheres of educational and pedagogical influence. In this elaboration the sense of subjectivism and self-respect as well as the development of identity refer to the period of puberty especially to its first years, time which has special significance for every human being’s life. Young person makes an attempt to function in the grown-ups world but without any individual experience. He seeks his way of life. In this period the pupil is controversial, critical, with his behavior opposes to social rules. His attempt to create his outlook on life, own ideas, reception of the truths of faith often opposes to the grown up world. Pupil, who becomes grown up, distances from parents, teachers and form-masters – he learns how to be independent. Features named above are normal during the growth and development. All of us went through this. Familiarity with human being’s development and his very important part namely puberty helps teachers and parents – its significance is unquestionable. Thanks to this knowledge they can plan precisely their educational and pedagogical actions. In this way teachers and parents can influence proper development of every pupil’s personality and because of this achieve their own pedagogical success.
