Seriousness and the Foundations of Education.
Wilson, John
Educational Theory, v48 n2 p143-53 Spr 1998
Discusses the relevance and importance of seriousness in education, explaining that schools do not coherently teach the kind of monitoring and personal engagement required of a serious student, probably because the nature and need for it is not recognized. The paper suggests that no type of moral or serious education is possible without a basis of seriousness. (SM)
