Challenging Technocratic Logics in Teacher Education: Seeking Guidance from Indigenous and Aristotelian Traditions
Kerr, Jeannie
Research in Education, v100 n1 p83-96 May 2018
In this article, I argue that technocratic forms of education are miseducational and intricately tied to matters of social inequity and colonialism. Through outlining the epistemic limitations, as well as drawing on decolonial scholarship, I point out that technocratic logics in education intentionally ignore the people, places, and more-than-human beings in educational configurations. In response to these concerns, I engage with Indigenous and Aristotelian scholarship that takes up embodied knowledge making practices that forefront ethics, place, and relations. I conclude by sharing collaborative teacher education practices conceived through being taught by Indigenous and Aristotelian traditions of thought and practice.
