FOLK PEDAGOGICAL WISDOM AND ITS REFLECTIONS IN THE LITERARY WORKS

Summary/Abstract: In Lithuanian folk pedagogics two periods are distinguished: the pre Christianity and post Christianity (1375) periods. In the first period the educational practice of a peasant child was naturalistic, "closely connected with" nature and based upon oral traditions and customs. Children learned from work experience and the natural situations of peasant life. In the post Christianity period the first books in Lithuanian language were printed (M. Mažvydas). Due to the influence of printed books in the native language the functions of the oral tradition changed and folk wisdom spread in a short time. Folk traditions of education had been considered by Lithuanian historians and ethnographers (L. Jucevičius, S. Daukantas, and M. Valančius). Ethnic-cultural heritage had been evaluated in their works.
