Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism

Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

经验与教育 = Experience and education

Attention to the beliefs of teachers and teacher candidates should be a focus of educational research and can inform educational practice in ways that prevailing research agendas have not and cannot. The difficulty in studying teachers’ beliefs has been caused by definitional problems, poor conceptualizations, and differing understandings of beliefs and belief structures. This article examines the meaning prominent researchers give to beliefs and how this meaning differs from that of knowledge, provides a definition of belief consistent with the best work in this area, explores the nature of belief structures as outlined by key researchers, and offers a synthesis of findings about the nature of beliefs. The article argues that teachers’ beliefs can and should become an important focus of educational inquiry but that this will require clear conceptualizations, careful examination of key assumptions, consistent understandings and adherence to precise meanings, and proper assessment and investigation of spec...

Administering freedom: a history of the present

The essay proceeds by first examining the idea of international and national statistics as a field of cultural production and reproduction concerned with the social administration of the freedom of the individual. This social administration has a double quality. It is to make the world intelligible and calculable for policy and social intervention. But a different element of social element of administration also comes into play. The social administration is to achieve immediate or future interventions in the lives of individual human beings, but also that the changes in the conditions of people will also produce changes in the kind of people that they are. In this later sense of social administration, international and national reports of educational statistics are examined as fabrications of kinds of people. Fabrication is to consider the knowledge of statistics as a fiction in the sense of the categories that are not real but representations that are made-up to identify and order relations for social planning, as in the histories of the classifications such as employment/unemployment, 'at-risk', and ethnicity and minorities. But the fabrications also make biographies that, related to individual actions and participation. The essay examines: (1) Contemporary arguments about statistics as a function of modern state problem solving. (2) Statistics is then considered historically as embodying particular rules and standards of reason related to the State administration of populations in the name of freedom and liberty. This administration involves the 'taming of chance' by making objects of the world intelligible and calculable for policy. (3) The third section is concerned with how the categories and magnitudes of numbers construct a practical causality of deviancy related to kinds of people and the biographies that social planners are to act on. (4) Finally, the notion of at-risk found in recent policy and statistical reporting is explored as embodying a particular set of rules of reasoning to produce biographies that simultaneously exclude as they include. Our task of inquiry is different: it is to examine the system of reason in which statistical discourses circulate and to make apparent the duality of the knowledge of education in governing social inclusion/exclusion. The rules that are used to widen inclusion are, at the same time, rules of normalcy and divisions whose implications are to simultaneously construct systems that exclude as they include.
