Reflective Teaching in the Postmodern World by Stuart Parker

Reflective Teaching in the Postmodern World by Stuart Parker

This text examines two differing approaches to education. Firstly, the positivist managerial approach, emphasizing means, efficiency, bureaucracy, inspection and science; secondly, reflective teaching, emphasizing autonomy, democracy, emancipation and action research. The author, by applying the techniques of deconstruction, overturns the assumptions common to both these positions, and in doing so jettisons some widely held beliefs about education, autonomy and rationality. A new manifesto for education in postmodernity is articulated, highlighting the implications for educational practices and institutions.

"A well written and stimulating excursion into postmodern educationParker's challenge to critical educational theory can, in the long run, only help the left rethink and deepen its political project." - Peter McLaren, University of California, Los Angeles.

Stuart Parker is Principal Lecturer in the School of Politics, Education and Social Science, South Bank University, London.
