Macrostructure and Microstructure of Janusz Korczak’s Monographic Pedagogical Work “How to Love a Child: A Child in the Family”
Abstract
Research Objectives: This study seeks to deepen the understanding of the monographic pedagogical work How to Love a Child: A Child in the Family published about 100 years ago by the outstanding Polish educator Janusz Korczak. The article also seeks to propose a method for analyzing other historical scientific texts of this type.
Research Methods: The methodology used in this study is a linguistic and textological analysis of an early pedagogical text.
Structure of the Article: The article describes the research objectives, subject matter, and applied methodology. The main section provides an analysis of the macrostructure, microstructure, metatext, delimitation, coherence (both cohesion and coherence), and the functions of How to Love a Child: A Child in the Family.
Research Findings and Their Impact on Educational Sciences: The analysis demonstrates the richness of meaning and the nuanced semantics within the pedagogical text. The textological examination has uncovered thematic areas that had not previously been explored by scholars studying this work.
Conclusions: Analyzing pedagogical texts from a textological perspective allows for a better understanding of both historical and contemporary works on upbringing, care, and education.
