‘The teacher as missionary": A pre-industrial conception?
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this article is primarily to bring to the debate an area of education that has been explicitly accepted by left-wing forces in Portugal. The title suggests the area we are referring to, namely the role of the teacher. Basically, we would like to argue that the conception of the teacher that has belonged to the left in Portugal since 25 April 1974 has been based on a notion of ‘practice’ that explicitly rejects the theorising of ‘academic culture’ and automatically accepts such a conception as inherently left-wing. The argument here will be that both the concepts of ‘practice’ and ‘academic culture’ are problematic, and that rather than necessarily being of the left, such a conception of the teacher can be seen as romantic, utopian and largely ‘pre-industrial’. We will turn to Gramsci's essays on education in defence of this argument.
