For education : towards critical educational inquiry

著者：	Wilfred Carr
出版商：	Buckingham [England] ; Bristol, PA : Open University Press, 1995. p 58 What is basic to most school is their domination by a sort of ladder mentality. The skills pupils learn at primary school are taught because they are needed in secondary school. The subject in the secondary school curriculum have to be learned in order to get the qualifications required for higher education which itself is a necessary prerequisite for obtaining a good job. Now what needs to be emphasized is how none of the particular steps on this ladder seems to have any intrinsic educational value. Education is perceived as having only an instrumental value as a means to something other than education itself. Perceived in this way, education is not even remotely concerned with the development of rational autonomy and intellectual freedom. It is only concerned with fitting people with the attitudes and skills necessary to be successful in a society in which this kind of instrumental rationality is endemic.
