Ontario's Guidance and Career Education Program: A Democratic Analysis
Hyslop-Margison, Emery J.; McKerracher, Adrian
Journal of Education and Work, v21 n2 p133-142 Apr 2008
This article applies a democratic learning conceptual framework to an analysis of the Ontario (Canada) Guidance and Career Education program. Although the program respects some principles of democratic learning, it fails to explicitly recognise the distinction between social and natural reality. As a result, student agency and democratic engagement is undermined by presenting prevailing structural conditions in a historical manner. The authors recommend concrete classroom strategies to overcome this deficit and strengthen democratic learning practices in career education.
