Discourse Category in the Language and Educational Research – Searching for the Curiosities of Pedagogically-Oriented Discourse Analysis

Abstract

The aim of the paper is a reflection on the status and importance of the category of discourse in pedagogical language and research. The article consists of two main parts. The first part contains a description of the general difficulties in organizing the extensive area of research on discourse; the second part is devoted to the status of research on discourse in pedagogy and to the analysis of the concept of educational discourse. As a result, three approaches: archaeological, institutional and interactive, and the possibility of constructing conceptual maps within their frameworks, have been described. The article ends with an attempt to summarise the considerations in the context of the discursive construction of the subject of contemporary educational studies.
