LITERARY PIECE AND THE VALUES IT GIVES IN PRE-SCHOOL UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION

Abstract

The objective of this work is to unravel the values that certain artworks provide in the function of children wellbeing. A model of methodological analysis of a text is provided, which can be independently used by students and pre-school teachers when working with literary pieces. How to read literary pieces for children is the main objective, as only with a proper literary analysis of a chosen text can the teacher reach the full potential of nurturing children wellbeing through an incentive text. One of the main goals of the new pre-school programs is achieving a platform for wellbeing of a child, and particularly through value system that literary piece offers is the extent of wellbeing promoted. The materials chosen were among those used by students in the excercise room during the summer semester. Two fairytales were chosen: The small pepper, as a typical example of the oral fairytale tradition – and Princess in a paper bag, as a particular anti-fairytale answer to the traditional, but also the classical author signed fairytale.
