The Establishment of Cultural Studies of Education in Russia: Historiographical Review

This article reviews the main stages of the establishment of cultural studies of education as a separate field of science. Its appearance was caused by two factors. Firstly, it was requested by the education system itself, which was looking for a new theoretical and methodological basis for studying culture, at the end of the 1980s. Secondly, there was a radical change in the format of culture, due to which the traditional methodology of pedagogy, social studies of education, and philosophy of education became no longer sufficient for a holistic study of the phenomenon of education, and for designing various educational models. As a result, two major research are as were formed: the development of cultural approach to the selection of content for different educational programs, organization of its logic, and methods for its studying, and the studies of education as a cultural phenomenon — a gene of the culture genesis. The established scientific and methodological base of cultural studies of education provides a fresh look not only at the problems faced by the modern system of education, but also at the works of outstanding teachers and thinkers of the past. In conclusion, there is a short bibliographical list of works that give the most complete picture of the problem field of cultural studies of education and the results obtained in this area over the past 20 years.
