Educational 'theories' are ideologies

1. Utopia - an imagined picture of an ideal society, motivational and emotional part.
2. Diagnosis - a description and analysis of the actual society
3. Strategy - the means to change the actual society into the ideal society
4. Collective -a social group that will carry out the change

There are three meta-ideologies in education

1. Socialization - adapting the child to society; imparting useful behaviours
• practical pedagogical sentiment
2. Acculturation - shaping the child's character in light of the values of the preferred culture
• intellectual
3. Individuation - fostering the autonomy and the authenticity of the child

• The Formula of teaching 

1. T + I + C + S = P
2. teacher + instruction + content + student = purpose

You must choose one of them

1. there is a contradiction between the educational means of the meta-ideologies
2. we must stick to one ideology
