summary
Educationalization Historical concept used by historians in order to describe something that p. 2
happened during our past
distinction between 3 levels:
1. The past = collection of all the events that have occurred (lies behind
us)
2. Histories = the kind of narratives that are produced by historians in
order to make sense of our past. An elaboration of the past (things we
produce in a way being historians)
3. Historiography = reflects on how you can reconstruct the past, how
you can produce particular narratives/histories in order to make sense
of the past (theoretical reflections on how those histories need to
produce, meta reflection)
the past remains the same, but the way we reconstruct the past evolves
(histories). The thing that we are interested in when we look towards the past
changes. The historiographical reflections also change.
Refers to a particular process in which the responsibility of social problems is p.3 TEKST 2
directed towards educational environments and individuals that have to learn
how to behave in a proper way. It also refers to what is happening in society, at
large
Educationalization of the world Class 6 TEKST 17

pupils become silent & the teacher is the one who can produce
sounds
Quantitative Process whereby more and more educational institutions are created, and p.4
characteristics of more and more people are expected to spend part of their lives here (lifelong)
educationalization this is expected at every age

characteristics of responsibility or in other words:
educationalization Process whereby social problems are redefined in terms of
pedagogical/educational responsibility

forms of (psychological) influence
