Abstract
The paper contrasts two domains of school education, natural science and citizenship education (as paradigm ‘ hard’ and ‘ soft’ subjects), with respect to their epistemological and ethical foundations. A sharp contrast between their associated world-views within the school community is accentuated at the outset. The epistemological shortcomings inherent in both are subsequently explored, and the debate between epistemological relativism and ‘ naturalism’ (a form of foundationalism) relating to scientific knowledge is briefly reviewed. Through review of organizational principles behind selection of knowledge for presentation in schools, values are introduced as an epistemically, as well as ethically, important component of school education. Subsequent analysis aims to show that even in this respect there is more similarities between the ‘ soft’ and ‘ hard’ subjects than is standardly assumed. (IN CROATIAN: Rad uspoređuje dva područja školskog obrazovanja (kao paradigme “tvrdih” i “mekih” predmeta), prirodne znanosti i odgoj za građanstvo (popularnije, “političko obrazovanje”), obzirom na njihove epistemološke i moralne temelje. Na početku je izražen kontrast između svjetonazora implicitnih u spomenuta dva predmeta unutar školske zajednice. Potom se istražuju epistemološki problemi zajednički obama predmetima, te se daje pregled rasprave između epistemološkog relativizma i “naturalizma” (koji je oblik fundacionalizma) vezane uz znanje u prirodnim znanostima. Kroz pregled općih filozofijskih načela u pozadini izbora sadržaja za školske predmete, uvodi se pitanje vrijednosti kao i epistemiški i etički važnog aspekta školskog obrazovanja. Analiza koja se na to nadovezuje nastoji pokazati da čak i u ovom pogledu postoji više sličnosti između “mekih” i “tvrdih” predmeta nego se standardno pretpostavlja.)
