Weisure – phenomenon, lifestyle, or vice?

Original language description

The article deals with the phenomenon of weisure and the changes that this phenomenon brings in the area of leisure time. It is a theoretical study aimed at showing the role of pedagogy of leisure time in modern Western society, where the boundary between work and leisure is vanishing. The article concludes that from the point of view of pedagogy of leisure time, childhood is the best time to have the personality base and the basis of value orientation formed, which is important for the prevention of weisure. Leisure is more likely an important life position than just a time space (free time) and leisure significantly influences the balance of not only an individual&apos;s life but also society as a whole. Therefore, pedagogy of leisure time should focus on the development of leisure time competencies, value education, critical thinking and socialization. On the contrary, leisure time education should not be focused on the mere implementation of activities, despite their attractiveness, entertainment or meaningfulness. If leisure education is replaced by just leisure activities, leisure time is instrumentalized and the weisure lifestyle is developing. Instead of learning to develop freedom, responsibility perseverance and searching for meaning, the child learns to consume leisure activities, to have fun and to selectively choose according to the momentary mood or fashion. Free time as a time category has not disappeared from a person&apos;s life, but the essence of leisure time, which is largely influenced by the instrumentalization and pedagogization of leisure time, is being erased. Leisure takes on the character of an obligation, thus reducing the potential that leisure has. It is this development that is based on the importance of leisure time education, which should focus its efforts not only on children and young people, but also on the education of parents and leisure time educators who are involved in the instrumentalization and pedagogization of leisure time in many ways.
