摘要:The history of education is now gradually being included in the postmodern discourse of socio-humanistic knowledge in the search for its identity and own place in the trends and prospects of science. The article interprets the neoclassical model of research in the history of Russian education. The model represents the interdisciplinary concept based on the synthesis of traditional and innovative approaches to the analysis of the past. The article analyzes the difficulties and achievements on the way of creating the systematic methodology of open rationality and pluralism of opinions. This model is realized through the interface of subject fields of the approaches involved, their cognitive strategies, methodological principles and means.
