ÎNVĂȚĂMÂNTUL ÎN LIMBA MATERNĂ LA MINORITĂȚILE TURCĂ ȘI TĂTARĂ, ÎN PERIOADA POST 1990
EDUCATION IN THE MOTHER TONGUE, OF THE TURKISH AND TATAR MINORITIES, IN THE POST-1990 PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: My research aims to investigate the Turkish and Tatar language education in Romania from two perspectives: the reconstruction of the dominant educational paradigm and the outline of a history of Turkish and Tatar language education. At a first level, I reconstruct the educational paradigm which is dominant among the Turkish and Tatar elites by placing education in the general ethno-political program of minority elites, by identifying relevant policy actors concerning minority education and the main debates on this issue. At a second (history outline) level, I identify the major historical turning points of the Turkish and Tatar language education, by sketching a periodization of educational and institutional processes. Emphasizing the current institutional reality of Turkish and Tatar language education, the research will give a glimpse on how two minorities in Romania, with a similar historical and cultural background, are engaging in different forms of minority-language education. The research is based on qualitative methods: structured and semi-structured interviews with political actors, experts in education, members of the two minorities, on text analysis of political programs, journalistic texts and not last on the analysis of legislation.
