For this discussion board post, you will engage with Biesta’s article “Don’t be fooled by ignorant schoolmasters” by determining its project and finding a way to formulate a response to it. Below are some guiding questions to help you determine Biesta’s aims, methods, and materials. You will expand on this writing for your Coming to Terms assignment. (Recommended: 350-500 words)
Aims
● What is Biesta’s goal? What is he trying to tell us about teaching? About learning?
● Why does Biesta want readers to grasp the “modern logic of emancipation”?
● What does Biesta want the role of the teacher to be?
Methods
● Biesta both agrees and disagrees with Ranciere. How does he do that in his article?
● Why do you think Biesta spends time explaining Friere’s response to the modern logic of emancipation? In other words, why not just write about Ranciere’s response?
Materials
● What evidence does Biesta use to make his point and move his argument forward?
● Who is Biesta responding to in “Don’t be fooled by ignorant schoolmasters”?
● Why does Biesta use historical documents and ideas (from the ancient Greeks through nineteenth-century philosophers and post-WWII educational researchers)?
