Reception of Critical Educational Science and the Contemporary Educational Crisis

The basic starting point in the research of the educational reality within the critical educational science was represented by criticism of the ideology and comprehension of the influence of social processes on education. The purpose and principal objective of education from the critical educational science point of view is striving towards maturity and self-determination leading to emancipation and solidarity development. Contemporary society is marked by large educational crisis determined by postulates of so called “neoliberal pedagogy” where, very frequently, education becomes its opposite. Due to that, the question arises of whether we could and should analyse the existing contemporary educational crisis through the reception of the critical educational science.
