Outline of Empirical Research: Private Interior of a School Age Child as a Factor of Socialisation and Education

Summary/Abstract: Socialisation and education are complicated permanent processes. Socialisation means internal transformation of individual’s consciousness while comprehending him/herself and anchoring in society. Education means purposeful activity which benefits one’s socialisation and is implemented adjusting an educational content to the needs of pupils of a particular age. One of the most important factors, which lead to successful socialisation is the surrounding environment. Artificial, natural or built environments are the ones that influence personality development. It grounds the statement, which says that the built material environment influences a child’s personality. The effect is long-lasting and versatile. The built material environment or its parts may act in the following ways: symbolically (e.g. emotional, sacral environment), directly (e.g. ergonomic aspects). Public built spaces most usually are organised in such a way, that they can meet the needs of individuals and all society, while private interiors are usually forgotten. The effect of private interiors is important in the process of socialisation; however, the effect of private interiors on school age children socialisation and education has been little investigated in Lithuania. A child spends much time in the private environment therefore its importance is obvious. The built material environment (in this case – private interior of a child) is not only the factor of spiritual and material culture but also the environment built by a child him/herself. The importance of interaction between a child and his/her private interior arises. It is difficult to investigate private spaces because of the following reasons: 1) complex, interdisciplinary approach; 2) high financial-organisational expenditure; 3) it is complicated to get into private spaces (research should be conducted in private households); 4) different evaluation of social and cultural conditions; 5) combining of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Despite the problems mentioned it can be stated that after a complex research we could recommend how to use private interiors as the factor of school age children socialisation and education more successfully.
