Education as Text: The Varieties of Educational Hiddenness.
Gordon, David
Curriculum Inquiry, v18 n4 p425-49 Win 1988
Using the ideas of Paul Ricoeur and Clifford Geertz, this article develops the notion of education as a "text" and analyzes the "hidden curriculum" of that text as it is read by all members of the society. The hypothesis is proposed that education becomes a text about society's myths and sacred beliefs. (TE)
