Characteristics that distinguish this concept from other ways of representing educational reality are described: plasticity, dynamism, anthropology, vitality, spatialily, compositionality, semanticity, symbolism, temporality, rhythmicity, polyscale, hybridity, contextuality, situationalcity. The general paradigm of studying the educational landscape as a social phenomenon is proposed. The three poles are shown, around which the study of educational landscapes is centered: subjective ("individual"), intersubjective ("society"), symbolic ("culture").
