Mechanics of educational influence: The Recursive gDZIK Model

Abstract

This article proposes a new approach to the definition of upbringing, bringing the academic understanding of the term closer to the social practices that form its essence. I present a model in which upbringing is seen as a process of actively, though not always consciously, transforming social interactions. The prototypes of upbringing discussed in the article demonstrate how to revitalize existing practices and make upbringing tools universally accessible to people of all ages. Upbringing, understood as a recursive process, offers new perspectives for educating future generations in response to changing social realities.
