The theory of critique, or 'critical theory', as developed by
Habermas and applied to education by Young, is far from being
merely negative. It is quite explicitly an optimistic educational
theory, in which the hope for rational progress, peace, global
understanding and ecological sanity, is celebrated. Now that
dogmatic Marxism has been swept into the rubbish bin of history, it
may be possible to engage in a less paranoid appraisal of the
claims of critical theory - the most revisionist legacy of Marxism.
A close look shows it to be eminently practical,
democratically-minded and responsible. In this book, Young
summarises critical learning theory, shows its relationship to
educational research, particularly research on classroom
communication, and demonstrates its value for classroom teachers in
a variety of 'real-life' classrooms. Far from being a utopian
approach, it comes to grips with the everyday problems of teachers
in real, imperfect, underfunded schools. Motivation, interest,
getting through the work, achieving real understanding and
teacher-planner relationships are fully discussed, using classroom
transcripts.
