KNJIŽEVNOST KAO ODGOJNI NARATIV KROZ ŠKOLSKU LEKTIRU I SLOBODNO VRIJEME ADOLESCENATA
LITERATURE AS AN EDUCATIONAL NARRATIVE THROUGH SCHOOL READING AND ADOLESCENTS' FREE TIME

Summary/Abstract: The literary narrative and the Arabic term edeb, which initially referred to upbringing and later to literature, are closely related. In our educational system, Arabic literature is to some extent represented through school reading assignments. One of the works that could serve as reading material for our high school students is the novel Days by Taha Hussein. The current connection between Arabic literature and the concept it represents, i.e., edeb, can be observed through the responses to the survey questions given by third-year students from the "Reis Džemaludin-ef. Čaušević" Madrasa in Cazin. The students' task was to identify connections, if any, between the novel Days and their family values, and the goal of the assignment was to analyze the application of certain moral and religious principles within the family circle and in free time, as well as to identify certain universal values that remain relevant today, just as they were when the novel was written (the first half of the 20th century), or to determine the differences in the needs of adolescents today compared to those a hundred years ago. The results showed that the respondents draw more positive examples on the topic of upbringing from their own Bosnian literature than from foreign literature, in this case Arabic literature, and that they actually experience religious, scientific, and books on the topic of positive psychology as an educational unit.
