| description | This research attempts to study how the discourse of education became problematic in Iran. Apart from investigating the conflicts over such a problem, we will face a consequent question: when the educational system came to be a problem and an object of though? Such a question is the result of a different view toward the history of Iranian education. Up to now, such a history has been impacted by traditional historiography in which the researcher focuses on the role of fundamental structures, development-driven conception, and originality of the role of specific subjects. In this article we move from that traditional approach and rely on Foucaultian historiographical approach to the appearance of the discourse of new education and its related conflicts. Findings of this research show that the break in traditional educational system is neither the result of any specific subject nor it can be explained in any metahistorical framework. The main cause was the coincidence and co-occurrence of some events in history of Iran. Such a Coincidence of events and the inability of the old discourse to explain the new conditions led to the formation a new discourse that went on to be based on new western sciences, technology and rationality instead of following the old discursive order. All these conditions made the education a problematic object in Iran and led to considerable changes and conflicts around the sciences and educational institutes. |
