control |
in education this most usually refers to the organised purposive management of learners and learning environments by a teacher. It is most often understood as the authoritative direction and ordering of pupil behaviour. Like discipline it is a term which sits uneasily with modern conceptions of freedom and equality and rights. Critics of state education often point to the role of schooling in social control. |
