The subject of this article is an analysis of the problem of relativism in educational science in the context of thesis on paradigmatic character of this science. Thomas Kuhn’s account of paradigm must be discussed in the first place, as well as the arguments for the recognition of its relativistic character. The elaboration of this issue opens the way for reflections on the reception of Kuhn’s views in educational science. Due to the modification of the concept of the paradigm justified by the specificities of social sciences it is complicated to state precisely, whether educational scientists present certain variations of relativism as a result of accepting the assertion that educational science is founded on paradigms.

The subject of the article is the problematicity associated with conducting research in educational studies. One can distinguish two senses of it – primary, being a feature of research problems identified within this discipline, and secondary – resulting from actions taken towards these problems by researchers. The aim of our consideration is to determine the relation occurring between problematicity in primary and secondary sense and to determine the possible consequences that it brings to the development of educational studies. These analyses are illustrated by the issues of paradigm and language.
