Educating for Democracy
In our world of unceasing turmoil, an educated citizenry is the first and strongest line of defence for democratic renewal. Educating for Democracy shows how students can prepare for the responsibilities of 'the most important office in a democracy' – that of a citizen. Education can provide students with the dispositions and skills needed to exercise their role judiciously and responsibly, as a patriot who cares about democracy and as a custodia…

Teaching Bible in Public High Schools: Toward a Conception of Educational Legitimacy
This article reports on the movement to teach Bible courses in the public schools and proposes a set of principles that would enable teachers to do so in educationally legitimate ways. In the first part, we argue the need for standards of educational legitimacy to complement the norms of Constitutional permissibility. We argue that the guidance offered by the courts’ interpretations of the first amendment, while helpful for deciding legal issues,…
The Idea of a Public Education
Critical Pragmatist and the Reconnection of Science and Values in Educational Research
Randomized field experiments, which in the United States has been proposed as the gold standard of educational research, (National Research Council, 2002) is dismissed by some critics as “positivistic.” Although this dismissal over identifies positivism with a specific research method, the larger point is accurate: the “gold standard” is often insensitive to local situations and human value and philosophical positivism supports and encourages thi…

Illinois Project for Democratic Accountability
Education is experiencing a case of misplaced accountability, where an exclusive reliance on high stakes tests overlooks the more subtle judgments of teachers and professional educators and, because of its simplicity, passes as democratic. This article investigates the theoretical underpinnings of current accountability initiatives and draws upon extensive teacher interviews to reveal the practical aspects of accountability pressures in schools t…

Citizenship and Education in Liberal-Democratic Societies: Teaching for Cosmopolitan Values and Collective Identities
The essays in the volume address educational issues that arise when national, sub-national, and supra-national identities compete. These include: how to determine the limits to parental educational rights when liberalism’s concern to protect and promote children’s autonomy conflicts with the desire to maintain communal integrity; whether, given the advances made by the forces of globalization, the liberal–democratic state can morally justify its …

The communitarian challenge to liberal social and educational theory
One of the traditional arguments for public schooling is that modern technological democratic societies need to replace the particularistic values of the family and the local community with the more universal values of the larger society. In the family or the local community feelings of love or loyalty determine the distribution of material and symbolic resources, in advanced technological societies the ideals of competence and achievement are su…

Education as a Liberal Area of Study
EDUCATION AS A LIBERAL AREA OF STUDY Walter Feinberg The University of Illinois There is a view, common among academics and educators alike, that education is but an applied area of study, one in which the methods of the traditional disciplines are used to address school related problems. Education is taken in this way because it is said to have no methodological principles or conceptual domain that it can call its own. Unlike disciplines such as…

Civic education: Lessons from the Iran-contra affair
Some educators have found Bennett's view too prescriptive because it favors a great books approach to instruction. Yet whether or not Bennett's specific recommendations for the curriculum are accepted, the insights he hopes to develop through instruction in the humanities are worthy of consideration. Through a quote from Montaigne, Bennett (1984) provides a brief but suggestive list of insights that includes teaching what it means to know somethi…
