Biographical learning of the parental roles of mothers

Summary/Abstract: Taking on a parental role is an important developmental task of early adulthood and a significant experience in the biography. Fulfilling the parental role is a process that a person learns in the course of life. Biographical learning is one of the types of learning. The aim of the research was to reconstruct the events and circumstances described in the course of women’s lives, which constituted the context of their biographical learning of the parental role. The practical goal is to develop recommendations for educational programs supporting (future) mothers in fulfilling their parental role. The research was conducted in a biographical perspective. The study involved 15 women aged 24 to 35 who are mothers. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the biographical learning of the parental role by the mother takes place through learning from her own biography and the biography of Others, in the conscious and unconscious dimension, individually or in relation to the Other(s). For biographical learning of the parental role significant is the period of growth and development in the home of the family of origin. The life experiences gained in the relationship with the mother and observing her as a mother are particularly significant here. Results from the presented research can be the basis for creating educational programs aimed at (future) mothers and for preparing specialists supporting women in their parental role.
