Abstract

The article concerns the changes that have been made and are being made in the field of basic pedagogical concepts, in the period from 1989, that is from the beginning of the socio-political transformation, to the present day. The analyses included in the text focused on the consequences of the change of language for pedagogy, its identity and status as a scientific discipline. I place a special emphasis on the language understood as a collection of symbols used by researchers interested in a selected fragment of reality. To illustrate the above-mentioned processes, I applied the lexical and semantic criterion referring to the resources of the contemporary language of pedagogy and meanings, its basic research categories. The texts begin with remarks about language and concepts as a linguistic representation of a specific fragment of social reality, in this case of education. Then, I pay attention to those conceptual categories that directly concern the subject of research in contemporary pedagogy and its properties. On this basis, I point to the selected examples of processes that implement this change, and then the consequences that, in my opinion, it brings to the practice of contemporary pedagogy.
