EDUCATION THROUGH THE PRISM OF CHILDREN AND RADIO NEWSCAST
Abstract
The main objective of the paper was to find out what conceptualisation processes are evoked in children of older school age by the word education, and what meanings are attached to this word in Czech Radio's newcast programmes from 1970 and 2015. The individual goals of the research were to reveal a particular influence of school upon the education of children, and to spotlight the changes in education in relation to a particular ideology in society. The theoretical basis of the research were theses of cultural linguistics and ethnolinguistics that draw upon the idea that mother tongue contains an educational potential of schooling, which is based upon the strengthening of the cognitive, emotional, as well as aesthetic value of mother tongue. We have used two methods in the research: the analysis of corpus data extracted from Czech Radio's archive of spoken word programmes, and a questionairre survey distributed among pupils of higher level of elementary schools. The semantic classification of corpus data revealed the concept of education in various developmental stages of society, and identified main factors that have an influence on education. The questionaries showed what connotations are evoked in children by the word education; the manner in which children are able to explain the denotative meaning of the word; what factors play into their education; and the way in which they are being educated. On the basis of the research results we have recommended educational methods that lead towards the fulfilment of the educational functions of mother tongue.
