Education and the Commons: Issues of "Professionalization."

Covaleskie, John F.; Howley, Aimee

Educational Foundations, v8 n4 p59-73 Fall 1994

Explores the danger and promise inherent in grounding educational reform in "professionalizing" teaching. One author offers a Marxist critique as contributing to the oppression of the working class. Another argues that professionalizing teaching misconstrues "education" and "profession" and proposes a professionalism rooted in a communitarian vision of society. (JB)
