Pojęcie rodziny w twórczym procesie dziecięcej interpretacji świata
Concept of the Family in the Creative Process of Children’s Interpretation of the World

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the research carried out in the school year 2018/2019 in selected primary schools. The research was compliant with the assumptions of constructivism. The aim of the study was to diagnose the ways of understanding the abstract concept of a family in a group of younger schoolchildren from a large city (Lodz). It was assumed that an effective way of extracting meanings given by children is to trigger their creative activity. Typical psychodidactic techniques were used: asking questions, drafting cognitive maps and creating analogies. The material obtained in the course of observation and analysis of children’s creations has been studied. The strategy used made it possible to reconstruct the children’s process of understanding the concept of a family, and to show the possibilities inherent in the psychodidactics of creativity. Such possibilities enable teachers to activate children’s way of interpreting the world and eliciting its personal and original representations.
