Abstract. The article presents the features of the anthropological turn in modern science and substantiates its specificity. The necessity of its application in retrospective pedagogical research is proved as it can change the “standard model” and typical errors of such research. The possibility to define the goal of anthropological historical and pedagogical research as “construction of phenomena” of the history of education and pedagogical thought is substantiated. The paper defines the main characteristics of anthropological historical and pedagogical research (range of topics, conceptual foundations, methods, sources, etc). A conclusion is made about the need to expand the problem field and methodological research apparatus on the history of pedagogy and education through the use of the anthropological approach, which will require the harmonization of the criteria for their expert assessment.

Key words: anthropological approach, history of everyday life, methodology, history of pedagogy and education, dissertation research, scientific standard.
