Dispute cu privire la rolul programelor şcolare reflectate în publicaţia „Revista Generală a Învăţământului”
Disputes regarding the role of curricula in the „General Journal of Education”

Summary/Abstract: Analyzing the articles published in the „General Journal of Education” (published in Bucharest: 1905-1916, 1923-1944), the author approaches an important subject, namely the way in which the school curricula was being written and applied in the first four decades of the 20th century. In this pedagogical journal, founded by Spiru Haret, three times minister of education, we can find articles and studies elaborated by some of the best scholars of that time: Constantin Moisil, Ioan Ursu, Constantin Kiriţescu, Ilie Minea, Gheorghe Bogdan-Duică. In a time in which the decline of the Romantic school was evident, the Critical School was rising and the rigor of the “New School of History” gained strength, the judgments of the above mentioned scholars, rather heterogeneous, converged to the same idea, emphasizing the connection between curricula and textbooks, the way to teach history in schools, especially by focusing on the national history and the importance of textbooks and other didactical tools (history reading, books popularizing history). Through the valuable pedagogical and historical ideas, this publication became an elite segment of the Romanian culture, which included specialized publications, all these concurring to the progress of Romanian historiography and to the evolution of the inland pedagogy.
