The emphasis is put on children’s occupation (especially during summer vacation) but not on the social, educational, cultural significance of leisure time for children. Despite the fact that the problem of leisure time has become the sphere of interest of politicians, educators, parents, the number of scientific researches in this area has not increased. However, the increased scientific and practical interest in children’s leisure time is witnessed by the abundance of competitions, programmes devoted to children’s non-formal (self)education, socialisation that are announced by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania [1] . Still children’s leisure time (at school as well as outside it) in the mentioned documents is questioned as environment but not as a social, educational, cultural phenomenon. All this presupposes the problem issue of the research – what social-educational meanings contextualise children’s leisure time? The aim – to reveal social-educational discourse contextualising children’s leisure time referring to anti-positivistic attitude. The object of the research – social-educational discourse contextualising children’s leisure time. Methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, meta-analysis.

The research sample consisted of 126 pupils. Out of the eight general education schools, participating in a diagnostic research in Lithuania, four schools were randomly selected with 12-13 year old adolescents making the research sample. Each of the four schools had one experimental (E) and one control (C) group. The experimental group had 60 sixth-formers and 66 sixth-formers comprised the control group. The research methods: scientific literature analysis, description of moral values, educational experiment, statistical analysis. The results show that 12-13 year old adolescents in the experimental group were able to better define the essence of moral values as expression of their perception of values is higher, i.e. extensive and very detailed; grew significantly more than that of the control group participants. It was identified that data analysis of the empirical research conducted within a framework of the Olympic education manifested the expression of positive changes when contributing to the development of a moral value system, internalized by 12-13 year old adolescents. Therefore, it is highly important that adolescents’ value system would be constantly developed through the search for new ideas, pursuit of effective activity results, and use of the Olympic education.
