,,UPBRINGING TO TOLERANCE” AS A VALUE SHAPING THE ATTITUDES OF A CHILD IN THE EARLY SCHOOL-AGE - PARTICIPATION OF THE FAMILY AND SCHOOL

Abstract

Dynamic socio-economic, cultural and technological changes as well as the crisis in upbringing and education caused uncertainty, unsteadiness and axiological instability, including the chaos of ethical values, principles and norms. Tolerance as a basic, universal and timeless value in the era of typical ,,anti-value” globalisation should be one of the priority categories of social life, developed in the paradigm of coexistence, cooperation, openness to dialogue and otherness. The article presents empirical research on education and “tolerance” upbringing as a value shaping the attitudes of a child in early school age. The definition of tolerance and intolerance, their essence, scope, types and boundaries was re (interpreted). Two child-rearing environments have been critically and specifically reflected: the family (parents) and school (teachers) as places for shaping and developing tolerant and intolerant attitudes, world-view responsibility and axiological openness.
