The Perfectibility of Means and the Disregard of Ends.

Joseph, Ellis A.

Journal of Teacher Education, v40 n1 p18-21 Jan-Feb 1989

The methods of teaching and the content of social meliorism must become coeval entities in teacher education. This article discusses implications of the trend which has led schools of education, and their faculties and leaders, to become preoccupied with the means rather than the ends of schooling practice.
