"Bridging the Gap: Radicalism and Conformism" (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the evolving ideological divide between radicalism and conformism in educational pedagogy over the last half-century, referencing theorists such as Michel Foucault and William Spanos. It critiques traditional pedagogical structures and emphasizes a dialogical relationship between students and teachers, challenging the existing dynamics of knowledge transfer in the classroom. The debate also touches upon the complexities surrounding the pursuit of an ultimate 'Truth' within educational discourse, particularly in the context of poststructuralist thought and its implications on teaching methodologies.
