Interaction between structure and agency in the theory of the human as an agent and its educational implications for childhood
This study aims to investigate the relationship between structure and agency in the theory of the human as an agent and its educational implications for childhood.
For this purpose, this research was conducted with a qualitative approach and Analytic-Deductive method in three specific steps. First, the components of the concepts of agency and structure in the theory of the human as an agent were analyzed and described. Then, the relationship between structure and agency was deduced in a systematic framework. Finally, based on the analysis, educational and practical implications were presented for the management of early childhood.
Based on the philosophical concern of the theory of man as an agent, the components of agency included (will, etc.) and the components of structure were discovered in two internal and external parts.Regarding the dual relationship of agency-structure, neglecting the causes of human agency and accepting his inaction and unwillingness in the face of structures on the one hand and unjustified emphasis on the role of structures on the other, there are two sides of the spectrum that we have to turn from.Therefore, interactionism means a middle ground between the extreme edges of the spectrum.For this purpose, in this theory, the concept of "selection and choice of agent" is used the most.
Finally, based on the lack of agency in childhood, adopting the idea of a child as a pseudo-agent and considering childhood as a period of transition to agency, the proposed implications can be preparations for the growth and development of the bases of agency for adulthood.
