Jaunimui, kaip socialinei grupei Europos sąjungoje skiriama vis daugiau dėmesio. Jaunimo politikos įgyvendinimas priklauso nuo valstybės pasirinktų prioritetų, priemonių. Pasigendame jaunimo požiūrio į meną, estetiką vertybių lygmens kontekste tyrimų. Jaunimo ir jo meninių bei estetinių vertybių sąsajų tyrimus apsunkima tiek jaunimo, kaip socialinės grupės apibrėžtumas, tiek pačios tyrimo metodikos nebuvimas bei galimų skirtingų tyrimo aspektų gausa. Šiame darbe siekiama į jaunimo menines ir estetines vertybes pažvelgti išskirtinai vertybiniame (ugdymo(si)) bei aplinkos veiksnių kontekste, t.y. magistro baigiamajame darbe siekiama ištirti, kaip jaunimas vertina savo, kaip socialinės grupės, menines ir estetines vertybes, jų formavimąsi, raišką. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti jaunimo meninių ir estetinių vertybių formavimosi, raiškos ypatumus. Uždaviniai: 1. Apibendrinti meninių, estetinių vertybių vaidmenį jaunimo vertybiniame kontekste; 2. Nustatyti jaunimo meninių, estetinių vertybių formavimosi veiksnius; 3. Ištirti jaunimo meninėms ir estetinėms vertybėms įtakos turinčių veiksnių vertinimą. Ginamieji teiginiai: 1.

The importance of visual culture is emphasized in an emerging post-modernist society; besides, visual characteristics are regarded as an extremely important educational means in achieving various social, cultural, and educational goals. Through visual perception of environment humans experience various aesthetical emotions. The visual quality of environment reflects the spiritual culture of society, shapes aesthetically attractive cultural landscape, and cultivates traditions of environmental adjustment that create unique surroundings of our living place. The visual quality is objective and can be measured; but the aesthetical quality is a product of evaluation determined by cultural background and personal features. In the contemporary context of globalisation and multicultural trends, a rapidly changing environment requires from us not only a simple adaptation, but the maintenance of positive, creative, inseparable from aesthetical, relationship as well.

The attitudes stabilization begins in adolescence, when their outlines, together with personal... [to full text]
