The Politics of Control...the Politics of Freedom...and the Politics of Balance: Three Ways of Creating Social Change.
Clements, Elizabeth
New Zealand Journal of Adult Learning, v28 n1 p6-22 May 2000
Educators who focus on control pay more attention to curriculum and depositing knowledge than learning processes. A focus on freedom shifts the locus of control but depends on rationality and autonomy, which isolate and dehumanize. A focus on balance enables a holistic, inclusive approach that acknowledges interpersonal connections. (Contains 55 references.) (SK)
