| Description | The paper focuses on intergenerational learning in the family. Intergenerational learning in the family reflects transformations of family as well as social change leading to lifelong learning. Learning in the family takes much longer and has a greater impact than other forms of learning. It is not limited to a particular life stage, though it is evident that how and what we learn during different developmental stages varies as well as our acceptance of what we have learned is different. This means that intergenerational learning in the family is subject to a great deal of change in connection with the age of family members, their quest for independence and maturing, relations in the family and topics dominant to the family and its members in particular stages of life. The research question therefore is: What do children, parents and grandparents learn from one another? |
