More than an antidote against amnesia…: Some historiographical, theoretical and methodological reflections on the History of Education

Abstract

This article observes the paradigm shift in the history of education through different time periods. The author
departs from his perspective as a historian and educator, while comparing authors who have dealt with the
same thematic discourse. The realisation of the challenges of the so-called ‘new cultural history of education’
by a new academic approach invites to experience the so necessary historical contextualisation.
