THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF E. D. DNEPROV AT THE LEVEL OF THE EDUCATIONAL POLICY

Abstract

The paper analyzes the educational policies in Russia in the postmodern (contemporary) period, a historical context in which the curriculum paradigm is asserted.The pedagogue with a remarkable contribution is E. D. Dneprov, an academician of the Russian Academy of Education and a Minister of Education.In the analysis of his books, we followed the following coordinates: the axiomatic foundations/the basic concepts that define the education policy, the specific object of study of the education policy (as a field of pedagogical sciences), its specific normativity and its specific research methodology.The historical research methodology was used to highlight the evolution of the field conceptually and institutionally, in a synchronic and a diachronic perspective.The table at the end constitutes a synthesis of the work, demonstrating the epistemological maturity of the analyzed texts, epistemically essentialized by capitalizing on the fundamental concepts.
