Abstract
This paper proposes the view that subject-based education is facing a crisis, and aims to present recommendations to help overcome the conditions that are causing it. In order to do so, it is necessary to first maintain a structural outline for educational practice and methodology. The existence of subject-based education is being threatened by other spheres of school education. The independent nature of subject-based learning is being undermined, as is its meaning and purpose. The justification for subject-based education can be restored with the provision of a structural outline to determine specific aims, as well as a methodology to investigate the educational logic behind the outline. Thus, subjectbased education can be freed from reliance on pedagogy, psychology, and specialized sciences, enabling the restoration of its autonomy and educational significance. The field of subject-based education studies can academically ensure this. In order for subject-based education to overcome this crisis, liberation from the confines of pedagogy, psychology, and other related specialized science fields is necessary. This is where an educational structural outline becomes vital, and, along with a unique research methodology that investigates this outline, subjectbased education can regain its foothold. A structural outline would present the very condition by which subject-based education studies can become independent in the realms of both education and research.
