TY - JOUR AU - Uljens, Michael PY - 2022/03/07 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Pedagogiken som vetenskap i Finland i ljuset av icke-affirmativ pedagogikteori JF - Nordic Studies in Education JA - nse VL - 42 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - 10.23865/nse.v42.3788 UR - https://noredstudies.org/index.php/nse/article/view/3788 SP - 83-104 AB - <p>The article argues we need to interpret education in relation to general cultural and societal developments, exemplifying this by the developmental history and contemporary tensions in education as a discipline, in Finland. In international comparison, education in Finland has preserved a strong identity as a discipline, not reduced to “a field of research”. This autonomy has historical roots in how Bildung contributed to nation building in 19<sup>th</sup> century. The article reveals that recent interest in non-affirmative education theory had an early representative in J. V. Snellman (1806-1881). The connection is reestablishing, having been forgotten for during a century.</p> ER -
