THE TELEOLOGICAL CHARACTER OF EDUCATION

Abstract

Recognized as a domain defined theoretically and accessible praxeologically, the teleology of education is considered by the author as far from being understood and especially being applied correctly in the educational practice. In the last decade, curriculum construction and development in the Republic of Moldova recorded serious deviations from the essence of education teleology. Author’s hermeneutic-terminological exercise reveals essential characteristics of the teleology of education, reconsidered from the field of educational policies to the field of education epistemology.
