Chức năng nhận thức trong truyện viết cho thiếu nhi của Nguyễn Ngọc Thuần

Abstract

Along with educational, aesthetic, entertainment functions, etc. cognitive function is one of the most important functions of children’s literature. By using interdisciplinary research methods, especially applying knowledge of age psychology, and theories of literary functions, we prove that the children’s literature of Nguyen Ngoc Thuan helps children approach the perception of nature, society, humanity, and self-perception. Such knowledge is not too much, but just an excuse for the character to filter his own feelings and foster awareness of the reasons to live, lifestyle, noble sentiments, and a living environment full of humanity. From there, they can form a correct and humanistic outlook on life.
