Point-Counterpoint: Should Educators Educate or Advocate?
House, Verne W.; Cunningham, Phyllis M.
Adult Learning, v2 n3 p14-19,27 Nov 1990
House argues that education, especially about public policy issues, should objectively present and teach facts, not values. Cunningham argues that there is no neutrality; educators must be advocates for learners, understanding the hidden curricula of learning situations. (SK)
