Originally published in 1990. This book is concerned with the logic
of the relationship between educational theory and practice. It is
a fundamental examination of three ideas: Vocationalism - the idea
that the central purpose of education is to prepare people for
work. Managerialism - the idea that this preparation can be managed
by those not intimately concerned with the practice of teaching.
Consumerism - the idea that education should be led by the demands
of the 'market'. Halliday argues that promoters of these ideas
share a mistaken belief in the value of pursuing a supposed ideal
of objective precision in education. He traces the theoretical
origins of this ideal and its practical consequences. In
particular, he argues that educational development is likely to
remain ossified within a particular theoretical framework, unless
competing developments are allowed to flourish alongside one
another. He concludes by outlining the ways in which this
competition might be managed.
