PRESENCE AND DEFINING THE GOAL OF MOTHER'S UPBRINGING IN BOSNIAK FAMILIES

Abstract

The paper discusses upbringing as a pedagogic and anthropologic category with a clearly dened goal to be achieved. Authentic education belongs to a culture and it nurtures the human soul within a specic culture while at the same time it also develops the sense of value. The goal of mother’s upbringing of her children is based on social values of the community. The authentic upbringing in Bosniak families creates the basic value components of the Bosniak culture. Its clear goal is to raise children with basic Islamic and Bosniak cultural values. We surveyed 260 Bosniak mothers who were asked to dene the goal they want to achieve in the upbringing of their children. We wanted to establish the presence or absence of a clear goal and to examine how mothers dene it. The survey results show that the current generation of Bosniak mothers mainly has a clear goal which emphasizes honesty, moral and education as preconditions for success in life.
