The Educational Role of the Mother in Adult Daughters’ Observations – a Contribution to Considerations about Family Communication

Summary/Abstract: The primary objective of the research presented in this article was to determine how adult daughters, in retrospect, see the educational role of their mothers. The method applied in the research procedure involved the Wheel Questionnaire of Ben Shalit – a modified version of Perception Survey Questionnaire. The research involved 91 female students of the Faculty of Education at the University of Rzeszów. One of the assumptions of this research was that parenting constitutes a fundamental dimension of adult functioning, whose quality depends on childhood experiences. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that women see the educational role of their mothers in the context of four main categories: togetherness, values, nurture and care, and bestowing emotions. The issue not directly resulting from the research, which is nevertheless significant from the point of view of family communication problems, is the matter of fulfilling pro-parental education both in school and public space, which should involve transmitting knowledge on the development and upbringing of a child, and intended to shape parental competencies including communication and broadly understood pedagogical culture.
