Popkewitz considers some of the cul tural assumptions and political implica tions of teacher education. He also describes the relationship of reform to social and economic transformation, the logic of individualism, and the formation of professional ideologies. Further, he shows how these various dimensions give coherence and direction to contem porary educational practice. The author argues that professional schooling edu cates the individual to take for granted certain social and cultural assumptions of schooling. In order to explore the biases of professional discourse and practice, two dimensions of comparative study are provided: (a) the relationship of consciousness to social conditions, or how social history bears upon school ing; (b) the critical examination of social and educational life, which includes a description of how the interaction of people and institutions alters the mean ing of guiding theories and practices
