Description

The 'Generative Theory' of Education by W. Kenneth Richmond offers a radical approach to understanding the role of education in society. First published in 1975, this book presents a vision for an educative society that goes beyond traditional schooling. Richmond argues that learning is no longer confined within the classroom and that a schooled society is not synonymous with an educative one. He proposes a 'generative theory' of education, where the learner is seen as the controlling agent in a network of educational resources, and education is viewed as a lifelong process. This approach challenges traditional pedagogy and highlights the importance of recognizing the validity of skills acquired outside the classroom. By fostering a 'school without walls' policy, Richmond believes that we can overcome the problems associated with traditional schooling and create a more effective system for learning and development.
