Critique of Schooling for Development: Deskilling and Deculturalization

For each reading, you should prepare for class in the following way: 1. Attempt to summarize the author’s main point(s) in a sentence or two. 2. Identify specific terms, concepts, or passages that you found either confusing or interesting and enlightening (in other words, what would you like to bring up as a point of clarification or discussion). 3. Provide a reaction or two to the reading: What do you like or dislike about it? Agree or disagree with? How can you relate it to your experience?
These are the guide questions and dont need to answer--What do you think of some of the "development critiques" presented by Shields? How do "politics and power" affect the nature of education for development, and what do Marxist and post-colonial perspectives add to the critical analysis? Which of these approaches might you find most persuasive? How might you respond to the three questions that Shields poses at the end of his chapter?
--According to Reagan, why are indigenous educational traditions important to value and to study? How do they challenge our "ethnocentrism?" What other terms, concepts, or discussions in this chapter did you find interesting? What do you think of Reagan's argument?
