ABSTRACT

Sets of values and attitudes which relate particularly to the nature of education and the educational process are also important in education policy-making. Table 3.4 sets out the nature of educational ideologies operating in contemporary Britain. The fourth educational ideology, social reconstructionism, is linked to more radical political ideologies, such as Marxism and feminism, that have so far had almost no influence in education policy-making in the UK, at least at the national level.
