Mother\u27s pedagogical and psychological position in the family

Ženske so že od nekdaj zaznamovane predvsem kot matere in gospodinje. Njihov položaj in pomembna vloga se najbolj utrjujeta v družini. Kljub številnim procesom, kot so pluralizacija družinskih oblik, maritalne in strukturne spremembe, je družina še vedno zaznamovana kot osnovna celica družabnega življenja in ni izgubila svojega pomena in pomembnosti. Emancipacija in feministično gibanje sta bila vzrok korenitih sprememb glede položaja žensk ter sta prispevala k doseganju številnih pravic. Vendar se ženske še vedno soočajo s težavami, kot so pomanjkanje časa zase, nižje zaposlitvene možnosti in usklajevanje poklicne kariere z družinskim življenjem. V magistrski nalogi smo se ukvarjali s pedagoškim in psihosocialnim položajem matere v družini. Zanimalo nas je, kako na položaj matere vplivajo njena starost, število otrok, stopnja izobrazbe in zakonski stan. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 155 mater, katerih otroci so učenci na treh mariborskih osnovnih šolah. Podatki so bili zbrani s pomočjo vprašalnika, ki je bil zasnovan v ta namen. Analiza rezultatov, pridobljenih na vzorcu 155 mater, kaže vpliv stopnje izobrazbe na pedagoški in psihosocialni položaj matere v družini, sledijo pa zakonski stan, starost matere in število otrok. Glede na pomen in kompleksnost materine vloge znotraj družinskega sistema je pomembno, da se počuti zadovoljno in upoštevano.Women have always been considered mostly as mothers and housekeepers. Their position and important role is the strongest in a family. Even there are a lot of processes, such as pluralization of family forms, marital, and structural changes, the family is still marked as the basic cell of social life and it has not lose its meaning and importance. Emancipation and feminist movement have been two of the reasons for radical changes about the position of women and they contributed to many female rights. However, women still face with problems, such as lack of time for themselves, lower employment possibilities, and coordination of her career with family life. In the master\u27s thesis, we have been researching pedagogical and psychosocial position of mothers in families.
