| Description | The paper provides a survey of the key thematic and methodological milestones in the research of educational inequalities. The article focuses on authors and concepts that introduced major innovations and contributed to significant advancements in the analysis and knowledge of educational inequalities. We propose to look at the researchers in the field of educational inequalities through the prism of the respective periods and thematic, methodological and temporal turning points that can be identified materially, methodologically and temporally. We have distinguished three periods, focusing on two key concepts in each of them. The first period is represented by the basic model of the process of stratification and the social-psychological model. The second period includes the educational allocation concept and the theory of maximally maintained inequality (MMI). Finally, the third period is described on the grounds of the multinomial transition model and the theory of effectively maintained inequality (EMI). Across these development stages, three of the above-mentioned concepts are presented as breakthrough methodological innovations (the basic model of the process of stratification, the educational allocation concept and the multinomial transition model) while another three concepts are viewed as thematic (interpretational) innovations, closely linked to the development of quantitative methods used to analyse educational inequalities (social-psychological model, MMI and EMI). |
