The Origins of Critical Theory in Education: Fabian Socialism as Social Reconstructionism in Nineteenth-Century Britain     

《British Journal of Educational Studies》2012,60(4):417-433

ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to examine the influence of Fabian Socialist thinking as the primary force in the development of critical theory as applied to higher education in Britain. The paper covers the impact of scientific Fabian Socialism and the establishment of the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Frankfurt School and the rise of critical theory and pedagogy, and offers a critique of these perspectives. The social reconstructionist theory, worked out in the USA, posits schools and teachers as planned agents of social and cultural reform by addressing and solving practical social problems. The reconstructionists and critical theorists embrace notions of equality, the eradication of social injustices, multiculturalism, increasing levels of social consciousness and the discussion of controversial issues through employment of critical forms of pedagogy. In Britain, Fabian Socialism led directly to the establishment of the Labour Party as a political entity.  相似文献

The London Association for the Teaching of English is a subject group that was founded in 1947 to ‘provide a live forum for the exchange of ideas, and to undertake the practical study of problems connected with the teaching of English’. The early history of this Association, its influence on the development of English pedagogy and practice is the subject of my current PhD research. Within this work are key questions about the nature of subject English, the curriculum, and the ways in which members of a subject community work together to effect change. This article gives some background to the research project, and begins to point towards some potentially important questions about the subject and ways of working together. After two decades of top down, centralised government initiatives around English pedagogy, curriculum and assessment, and teachers’ professional development, these questions are worth addressing.  相似文献

高玉花 《福建体育科技》2014,33(4):49-50

采用文献资料、录像观察、对比分析、数理统计等方法,对参加第30伦敦奥运会排球竞赛的男、女四强第二阶段16场比赛的得分特征进行了比较与分析。结果表明:伦敦奥运会男、女排的竞赛特征、得分方式及得分结构都存在显著性差异。竞技表现是决定男排运动成绩的重要因素;竞技水平是决定女排运动成绩的重要因素。女排的主要得分手段是进攻,男排的得分手段均衡,进攻、发球、拦网和对手失误相当。男排比赛突显攻击性,也增加了失误的风险;女排比赛突显稳定性特点,提升了进攻和拦网得分的比率。并针对以上差距提出训练的具体对策。  相似文献
