The Construction of Femininity Embraced in the Work of Caring for Children Caught Between Aspirations and Reality
Creators: name: Lewis, Magda
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: "It's my life so I'll do what I want, right?" These words, spoken by a young woman during the course of an interview provide a suitable starting point for the following examination. The belief that you can be anything you want to be if you want it bad enough and work hard enough is the massively prevalent ideological underpinning of many of the social relations and economic and political forms that touch our everyday lives. The effect of this assured ideological construct is that many disadvantaged groups (among them women) blame themselves for their own disadvantage. Conventional wisdom claims that the failure to realize one's aspirations is the result of inadequate will, initiative or ability. Such a claim fails to acknowledge that people are embedded in social, cultural and ideological forms, relations and practices that give meaning to who they are and who they might become.

description: We are engaged in a research project aimed at conceptualizing teachers' knowledge of classrooms. Our practical intention is to foster a spirit of confidence on the part of teachers in the personal ways they know their classrooms. We hope, thereby , to counteract in some small way those administrative, policy, and research traditions which deny a central voice for teachers in curriculum and instruction. Our intention is for the work to enhance teachers ' sense of authority amidst a predominantly prescriptive administrative, policy and research environment.

description: It has become somewhat banal to be told that we are in the midst of a student revolution in the United States. The reminders appear almost daily through various student protest activities which are given wide publicity through the mass media. Student rebellion makes good copy and the press and public eagerly consume every tidbit of information about student unrest. In the midst of massive publicity new protagonists gain instant notoriety. Names like Professor S. I. Hayakawa, Sam Wood, Mark Rudd, Peoples Park, Woodstock, etc. have become symbols that perpetuate interest in student unrest.

description: Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty among Malaysians. The emergence of COVID-19 during the digital age has made social media an important platform to disseminate information. This has led to a study on the knowledge, attitudes and practices on COVID-19 among social media users. Methodology An online cross-sectional study among adult social media users in Malaysia was conducted on 05/06/2020-19/06/2020 and distributed via Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and Telegram. Results were analysed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were presented as mean and SD for continuous variables whereas frequency and percentage for categorical variables. Inferential statistics was performed using Chi-Square Test and Fisher’s Exact Test with p<0.05 as statistical significance. Results [Refer to Poster]. Discussion / Conclusion Good knowledge and optimistic beliefs may be contributed by the transparency and commitment in daily updates by the MoH which instilled confidence among the general public. However, one third experienced barriers in practicing the recommended precaution measures. Thus, assistance and aid may be considered for the unemployed and lower education level.
The University, International Education, and Development Assistance

description: In this paper I will use the terms "development," "developing countries" and "development assistance" with some frequency. As used here "development" refers to a process of change and growth in a society in accordance with the standards and values held by members of that society. The developing countries are the low income countries of the world, that is those with annual per capita incomes of less than $500. And "development assistance" or "aid" means the process whereby one country cooperates with another by transfering human and material resources to assist in development. In such cooperation both may benefit. I assume further that the people of developing countries will themselves determine their objectives and the direction of their own growth, and will provide most of the resources that will be required. Assistance from others can provide only marginal support, although at a particular moment in history that aid may prove to be a crucial factor in development.

Public Authority and Village Reconstruction: The Case of Basic Education in India
Creators: name: Zachariah, Mathew
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Some of the writings in the growing literature on the role of education in modernization have dealt with attempts to modify a part or the whole of an educational system. When such attempts for reform have failed (which have happened too often) 1, the profered explanations for the failure have been depressingly similar: there was confusion among administrators and teachers about the objectives of the reform, financial support for the reform program was grossly inadequate, there were not sufficient numbers of truly dedicated and properly trained teachers etc. Often, the crucial weakness of these explanations has been that they did not answer the question: in a given case which explanations were more fundamental than others in explaining a failure? Unless case studies of the failure (or the success) of reform attempts in education differentiate between the more significant from the less significant causes, our understanding of the relationship of educational change to other social, political and economic changes will remain at a descriptive level.

description: Objectives: To estimate clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir ± ribavirin (OMB/PTV/r + DSV ± RBV) compared with treatment regimens including pegylated interferon (PegIFN) for patients with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Methods: An Excel spreadsheet Markov model tracking progression through stages of liver disease was developed. Costs and patient utilities for liver disease stages were taken from published studies. Rates of disease progression were based on studies of untreated HCV infection and long-term follow-up of those achieving sustained virologic response (SVR) after drug treatment. Impact of OMB/PTV/r + DSV ± RBV and other drug regimens on progression was estimated through SVR rates from clinical trials. Analyses were performed for treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients. Impact of alternative scenarios and input parameter uncertainty on the results were tested. Results: For genotype 1 treatment-naive HCV patients, for OMB/PTV/r + DSV ± RBV, PegIFN + ribavirin (PegIFN/RBV), sofosbuvir + PegIFN/RBV, telaprevir + PegIFN/RBV, boceprevir + PegIFN/RBV, lifetime risk of decompensated liver disease was 5.6%, 18.9%, 7.4%, 11.7%, and 14.9%; hepatocellular carcinoma was 5.4%, 9.2%, 5.7%, 7.0%, and 7.4%; and death from liver disease was 8.7%, 22.2%, 10.4%, 14.8%, and 17.6%, respectively. Estimates of the cost-effectiveness of OMB/PTV/r + DSV ± RBV for treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients indicated that it dominated all other regimens except PegIFN/RBV. Compared with PegIFN/RBV, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were £13,864 and £10,258 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) for treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients, respectively. The results were similar for alternative scenarios and uncertainty analyses. Limitations: A mixed-treatment comparison for SVR rates for the different treatment regimens was not feasible, because many regimens did not have comparator arms; instead SVR rates were based on those from recent trials. Conclusions: OMB/PTV/r + DSV ± RBV is a cost-effective oral treatment regimen for chronic genotype 1 HCV infection compared with standard treatment regimens and is estimated to reduce the lifetime risks of advanced liver disease.

title: Wolves and whales: A study of school-based mentoring using metaphor to analyse the professional lived experiences and identities of teachers who are schoolbased mentors in primary schools.
Creators: name: Cockayne, Mandy
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: This thesis explores the professional lives and identities of teachers in primary schools who are school-based mentors. School-based mentors are currently pivotal in the education of new teachers and the study explores the expectations and tensions inherent in the duality of the roles. With the implementation of the Early Career Framework, school-based mentoring will become even more crucial, and therefore this study is pertinent and timely. A constructivist approach enabled a focus on the complex social realities inherent in teaching and mentoring in order to explore and gain greater understanding of the roles and identities of teachers who are school-based mentors. Semi-structured interviews and a group activity provided the data for this qualitative study. Thirteen school-based mentors were interviewed and 35 attended a group activity. Data from both methods were analyzed to identify and analyse key themes. Metaphor elicitation was a key feature in the interview and the group activity. The key findings of the study focused on the tensions implicit in the duality of the roles of teacher and school-based mentor. Although teachers showed enthusiasm for their mentoring role, in reality their duties and responsibilities as mentors needed to be fitted into an already full day of teaching. Teaching was inevitably prioritized and the stresses around aspiring to be an effective mentor as well as an effective teacher were considerable. Participants had a strong teacher identity. Identity as a mentor was less evident. Metaphor featured strongly in the analysis of the data and was key in addressing the research questions. In particular, one participant’s view of her teacher self as a wolf and her mentor self as a whale was especially illuminating with regard to her role and identity. The study recommends that local and national initiatives to ease the workload of teachers be continued, to ensure well-being but also to enable them to focus on their supplementary yet vital role as school-based mentors. The study identifies further areas of research needed to gain a greater understanding into the role of the school-based mentor, particularly through the lens of teacher education.

description: Introduction In recent crisis of pandemic COVID-19, HCWs are highly affected due to the increase in mental exhaustion and physical pressure as they are the one who directly engage with COVID19 patients where they themselves are facing the risk of infection. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted on completed DASS 21 questionnaire by HCWs in HPSF after being screened for COVID-19 from period of 22nd March and ended on 3 rd June 2020. All of the HCWs were quarantined. Data were collected from counselling and public health unit for analysis. Results 221 HCWs completed the DASS 21 questionnaire with male 78 (35.3%) and female 143 (64.7%), 129 (58.4%) from professional group and 92 (41.6%) from support group, and 197 (89.1%) from medical line and 24 (10.9%) from non-medical line. Figure 1 shows above 80% of HCWs had normal mental health status. Table 4 reveals significant association between mental health status and department with p value (0.047) and (0.022) for depression and anxiety respectively. No significant association found between mental health with gender and designation. Majority of HCWs from professional group especially in medical line need counsellor (90.6%) and psychiatrist (82.5%) consultation as shown in graph 1. Discussion / Conclusion This study discovered no significant impact of mental health status among HCWs after COVID 19 screening in HPSF. One of the possible reason is the questionnaire was completed at early stage of quarantine. HCWs from professional group especially in medical line are more mentally affected as they are the frontliner handling the pandemic. HCWs particularly from medical line needs more mental health support. However, in comparison with study conducted by Liang et al,2020 there were no significant difference between departments of the subjects regarding state of depression and anxiety. This study revealed female HCWs sought further mental health support as evidenced by Lai J,2020 being a woman with professional title was associated with high state of depression, anxiety and distress. Nevertheless, no conclusion can be made on impact of mental health on gender as this study involved more female HCWs compared to male. Lai et al,2020 and Cai et al,2020 found that nurses compared to doctors and other professional suffered depression, anxiety and stress more as this study discovered professional group need extra mental health support compared to others. More study required to address this issue and hopefully it will become eye opener to the high level management.

Year: 2018

description: Over the course of conducting interviews with teachers, administrators and community workers about life skills programs in the school system and in the community, we came to take a stance opposite to that of the educators with whom we spoke. We found the life skills curriculum in both the separate and public education systems to be an ideological process embedded in administrative concerns about student "attitudes" and student "discipline." The concept of life skills assembles a set of understandings which organizes individuals' lives in the conceptual relevance’s of the labor process. Life skills courses place students' lives and concerns in the curriculum while at the same time providing the basis on which those concerns can be rationalized and fitted to the cultural understandings generated in the capitalist mode of production which characterizes Canadian society. It is a conceptual frame through which the complexity of life processes becomes reduced to a set of skills.

Teaching Reading Methods: How do Pre-Service Teachers Understand the Experience of Learning to Read?
Creators: name: Hunsberger, Margaret
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: It is common in teacher education programs to require a course in language arts (including reading) methods, at least for students preparing to be elementary teachers. Not all students approach such a course enthusiastically, but generally they acknowledge its importance and so are there fairly willingly. The question, obviously, for those of us who teach these methods courses, is how we can best prepare students to be teachers of reading. I would like first to sketch two approaches to the study of reading, one a traditional approach and the other, a more experience-based stance toward reading. That is followed by a discussion of the possible contributions which the insights of reading experience can give to methods teaching.

In 1981 , $1 million was spent on weapons every minute of every hour of every day (U .N. , 1983 , p. 7) , and according to UNICEF director James Grant, every year twelve to thirteen million children (the equivalent of one hundred and twenty Hiroshimas) die from hunger and malnutrition largely because funds for social and economic development are everywhere being diverted to the stockpiling of arms and the development of standing armies (Toh, p. 59).

description: Maize price fluctuations in Malawi impact various groups differently, leading to significant seasonal hunger. By analyzing market price data and household surveys, this study quantifies the welfare impacts of these price changes. Stabilizing maize prices could reduce hunger by approximately 185 million person-days during the lean season. Policy recommendations include ensuring predictable maize market interventions, improving the timing of government purchases and sales, and promoting off-farm income-generating activities. These measures can enhance market confidence, encourage home storage of maize, and ultimately stabilize prices, benefiting both consumers and producers.

description: In this paper, the estimation of parameters, reliability and hazard functions of a inverted exponentiated half logistic distribution (IEHLD) from progressive Type II censored data has been considered. The Bayes estimates for progressive Type II censored IEHLD under asymmetric and symmetric loss functions such as squared error, general entropy and linex loss function are provided. The Bayes estimates for progressive Type II censored IEHLD parameters, reliability and hazard functions are also obtained under the balanced loss functions. However, the Bayes estimates cannot be obtained explicitly, Lindley approximation method and importance sampling procedure are considered to obtain the Bayes estimates. Furthermore, the asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimates is used to obtain the approximate confidence intervals. The highest posterior density credible intervals of the parameters based on importance sampling procedure are computed. Simulations are performed to see the performance of the proposed estimates. For illustrative purposes, two data sets have been analyzed.

description: In the year 399 B.C. the Athenians killed Socrates. They found the seventy-one year old philosopher guilty of "corrupting the youth by his teaching." They also accused him of refusing to honor the gods of the city and introducing new divinities, but this was the lesser charge. In his defense speech during his trial Socrates pays little attention to this second charge, stating flatly that he does believe there are gods (Apology,36).

description: Accurate assessment of liver fibrosis is a critical aspect of diagnosis, prognosis prediction, surveillance strategies, therapeutic planning and monitoring, and also for validation of non-invasive surrogates of fibrosis. Traditional histopathological stagings depend on subjective visual interpretation process of architectural changes of fibrosis without providing quantification as continuous numerical data, but rather in the form of discrete staging. This makes high level reproducibility practically impossible in its application, which should be minimized in scientific research. In the light of increasing demand for an objective method, digital image analysis (DIA) technology has been increasingly implemented for liver fibrosis assessment. Potential advantages and applications of reproducible quantitative fibrosis ratio measurements with DIA include performing broader scale of statistical analysis and comparison between studies, monitoring minor but potentially important quantity changes during fibrosis regression or progression (especially in the context of therapeutic trials), and to be a better histological reference standard for validity and accuracy of surrogates of fibrosis. DIA may also have a potential role within the new perspective of redefining and sub-classifying cirrhosis. Since DIA algorithm covers multiple domains of hepatopathology and engineering, it may seem to be complicated to a researcher. This review provides an understanding of all basic steps, techniques, clinical applications of computerized image analysis for the particular purpose of liver fibrosis aiming its better implementation in hepatology research. Further work is required for standardization of all stages of pre-imaging, digital image acquisition and digital image processing steps for generation of reproducible outputs.
The Apology of Socrates: A Response

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Professor Perkinson's thesis - that by submitting to death Socrates demonstrates that a free and open society must have its critics - rests upon three closely related assumptions, one explicitly stated, another obvious throughout the paper, and a third implied although not stated. The first is that Socrates has no knowledge, at least of virtue or excellence. His only knowledge is a recognition of his and others' ignorance when it comes to matters of signal import in conducting one's life. The second assumption is that the Socratic method is simply a critical attitude toward men's opinions and nothing more. Since Socrates has no knowledge, his characteristic practice of questioning persons does not result in knowledge but in elenchus. Hence the method he uses is negative and critical, not positive in the sense of resulting in knowledge. The third assumption is that the Socrates of Plato's dialogues is easily distinguishable from Plato himself, and that the demarcation between them is defined precisely by the two earlier assumptions.

description: Gallibacterium is a genus within the family Pasteurellaceae characterized by a high level of phenotypic and genetic diversity. No diagnostic method has yet been described, which allows species-specific identification of G. anatis. The aim of this study was to develop a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) method allowing species-specific identification and quantification of G. anatis. A G. anatis specific DNA sequence was identified in the gyrase subunit B gene (gyrB) and used to design a TaqMan probe and corresponding primers. The specificity of the assay was tested on 52 bacterial strains. Twenty-two of the strains represented all of the presently available 13 phenotypic variants of Gallibacterium anatis originating from different geographical locations. Nine strains represented each of the additional six Gallibacterium species and 21 strains represented other poultry associated bacterial species of the families Pasteurellaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Flavobacteriaceae. Regarding specificity none of non-G. anatis strains tested positive with the proposed assay. To test and compare the qPCR methods ability to detect G. anatis from field samples, the sensitivity was compared to a previously published conventional PCR method and culture-based identification, respectively. The detection rates were 97%, 78% and 34% for the current qPCR, the conventional PCR and the culture-based identification method, respectively. The qPCR assay was able to detect the gene gyrB in serial dilutions of 108 CFU/ml to as low as 100 CFU/ml copies. The proposed qPCR method is thus highly specific, sensitive and reproducible. In conclusion, we have developed a qPCR method that allows species-specific identification of G. anatis. Supplementary data
An Educational Philosophical Inventory: An Instrument For Measuring Change and Determining Philosophical Perspective

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Most educational theoretical inventories aim to measure teacher attitudes toward children, school experiences, or the educational environment. In the same perspective, such inventories attempt to relate these teacher beliefs to teaching success. One such scale is the Scale For Determining Teacher Beliefs. This scale clearly states its aim is one of finding out what teachers believe about children, schools, and teaching. Educational theoretical inventories deal with the macroscopics of school life. That is, these evaluative devices deal with the surface issues of teacher attitudes. Such an approach is helpful in gaining a periodic picture of how teachers perceive a particular school setting. However, these inventories are open to the criticism of being superficial with regards to testee responses. In many cases the individual completing the inventory may answer as he/she believes the statement should be answered. Thus the validity and reliability of such instruments can always be questioned. In addition, changing circumstances are likely to alter the responses of the individual completing the inventory. Thus such macroscopic evaluations lack the basic microscopic bases necessary for a more comprehensive picture of the person's educational perspectives.

description: E-Government development has become government commitment as established in the Inpres 3/2003 concerning the National E-Government Development Policy and Strategy. However, this government policy has not been fully implemented in local government, resulting in the e-Government role as the pledge of the government that cannot run well. Resistance to change is one of the inhibiting factors in e-Government development. Law No. 6 of 2014 about Villages states that the implementation of village governance by utilizing Information Technology can be donethrough e-Government Villages. An in-depth study of models suitable for e-Government villages is needed. The process of identifying the Village e-Government needs is carriedout with a Critical Success Factor (CSF) analysis. The results of the analysis produce four stages of the model which are divided into dimensions of technological complexity and organization with the level of data and information integration. Whereas the results of portfolio futures from the development of this model using McFarlan's Analyst Grid so that strategic modules, high potential, support, and operational key can be elaborated.

In Step 2, we categorized chemicals according to the Verhaar scheme for aquatic toxicity, and we developed QSARs for toxicities of Class 1 (non-polar narcotic) and Class 2 (polar narcotic) chemicals by means of simple regression with a hydrophobicity descriptor and multiple regression with a hydrophobicity descriptor and a quantum chemical descriptor. Using the algal toxicities of the Class 1 chemicals, we proposed a baseline QSAR for calculating their excess toxicities. In Step 3, we used structural profiles to predict toxicity either quantitatively or qualitatively and to assign chemicals to the following categories: Pesticide, Reactive, Toxic, Toxic low and Uncategorized. Although this three-step strategy cannot be used to estimate the algal toxicities of all chemicals, it is useful for chemicals within its domain. The strategy is also applicable as a component of Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment.

description: Education has played a vital role in the development of Europe as we know it today, and this is particularly true of the development and extension of nationalism during and following the eighteenth century. The very fluid sense of belonging which the seventeenth century European experienced had gradually solidified into national molds, cemented by certain common features. The educational systems, both formal and informal, incorporated these national features into their curricula, thus establishing permanent divisions among the various European states. Today, many responsible European and American statesmen are attempting to lower - if not to remove· - these national barriers. The economic and political costs of international rivalry are too great. Between 1870 and 1950 Europe's share of the total manufactured products of the world dropped from 70 per cent to less than 35 per cent.1 Conversely, the United States had during this time risen to first place, and her success could be attributed largely to the unrestricted economic movement among her states.

Conceptual Relativity and Understanding

description: It is a commonplace observation that our ordinary language provides the resources for a variety of true descriptions of any object, event, or state of affairs. There is no fundamental object - language whereby objects, events, or states of affairs can be described with non - contextually determinate "objectivity": whatsoever descriptions are offered in any context are judged by criteria of contextual appropriateness rather than by some putatively non - contextual or omni - contextual "objectivity". Our having access to such a varied range of descriptions with respect to any object, event, or state of affairs, is a mark of the extent to which we have mastered the intelligent use of our natural language. It is also a reflection (in some way I do not propose to analyse) of our conceptual capacities - the intellectual flexibility we have acquired in exploring the resources of our language, and the skills we have developed in coming to adopt different conceptual perspectives with respect to the "same" objects, events, or states of affairs. By "same" I do not wish to suggest, contrary to my thesis, that there is an objective of reality of which we have direct knowledge independently of our conceptualisations.

description: Many animals produce complex vocalizations that show pronounced variation between populations. The Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis helps to explain this variation, suggesting that acoustic signals are optimized for transmission through different environments. Little is known about the transmission properties of female vocalizations because most studies of the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis have focused on male vocalizations of organisms living at temperate latitudes. We explored the relationship between environmental variation and the transmission properties of songs of Rufous-and-white Wrens, resident Neotropical songbirds where both sexes sing. Using playback, we broadcast and re-recorded elements of male and female songs from three populations of wrens living in three different forest habitats in Costa Rica. We measured four variables of the re-recorded sounds: signal-to-noise ratio, excess attenuation, tail-to-signal ratio and blur ratio. Our results show a significant difference between transmission characteristics of both male and female song elements across the three habitats, indicating that sounds transmit differently through different types of tropical forest. The population from which the broadcast sounds were recorded (source population) had little effect on sound transmission, however, suggesting that acoustic differences between these populations may not arise through acoustic adaptation to these habitats. Male and female elements showed similar transmission properties overall, although signal-to-noise ratio of male elements was influenced by source population, whereas blur ratio and excess attenuation of female elements were influenced by source population. Our study highlights the differences in transmission characteristics of animal sounds through different habitats, and reveals some sex differences in transmission properties.
Recalling the Moral Force of Literature in Education

description: In light of the continuing challenges which schools and libraries face from those who would restrict on moral grounds the literary fare of the young, I thought it helpful to recall the original arguments in public education for making literature a mainstay, arguments which hinged on literature's ability to form the soul, to restore a lost community and 10 foster the state. Rather than treat these as simply antiquated, I argue that there are elements within the work of Mathew Arnold, F.R. Leavis and Louise Rosenblatt which can form the basis of a renewed defence of the moral and educational value of literature in both its aesthetic and testimonial aspects.

description: Objective: We previously found that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) in dermatomyositis (DM) patients. However, it is unclear whether low-density granulocytes (LDGs), endowed with enhanced NET formation capabilities, contribute to the pathogenesis of ILD. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between LDGs and DM-associated ILD. Methods: We recruited 48 DM patients (28 with ILD) as well as 19 healthy volunteers for this study. The percentage of LDGs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was ascertained by flow cytometry. Plasma cfDNA was measured by using the Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Kit and plasma LL-37 was tested by using the LL-37 ELISA kit. Results: The percentage of LDGs was 7.1 times higher in DM patients than in healthy controls. LDG percentage was 2.7 times higher in DM patients with ILD than in DM patients without ILD. Additionally, LDG percentage positively correlated with MYOACT lung disease activity scores, and NET/neutrophil-related marker levels (LL-37, cfDNA, MPO, and MMP-8) in the DM group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion: The abnormal increase of LDGs may exacerbate abnormal NET regulation and further contribute to the pathogenesis of ILD in DM patients by abnormally forming NETs.
Human Nature and the Development of Character: The Clash of Descriptive and Normative Elements in John Stuart Mill's Educational Theory

description: John Stuart Mill" s ideas concerning character development as a central educational aim ex pressed a widely held ideal of his age, that through education man could rise above his nature and become a fully developed human being at one with himself and at the same time committed to the welfare of his fellows. It is an ideal to which politicians and educators. Particularly in today's climate of economic difficult y and apparent social disharmony have continued to cling. For Mill as indeed for contemporary educational theorists character development was to be based firmly on a science of man and human development. This paper examines the relationship between Mill 's normative goals and his pedagogical science and following an analysis of the centrally important issue of freedom versus determinism. concludes that Mill 's normative ideals were, in fact, unrelated to and certainly could not be realized within the framework of his descriptive theory of man.
