Double Functions of Knowledge Production in Education: Enlightenment and Emancipation or Dominance and Domestication.
Kim, Kyung Hi
Thresholds in Education, v20 n2-3 p14-17 May-Aug 1994
Many critical educators claim that knowledge construction and production in education are tools for dominating and domesticating people, not enlightening or emancipating them. This article analyzes the nature of knowledge and the subject/object relationship in knowledge production. The contradictory functions of knowledge production are best overcome when education connects the capability of knowing with the capability of constructing knowledge. (MLH)
