This article investigates the education debate between the republicans and the pedagogues over the past 30 years in France. The article first notes that no camps self-identify as ‘‘republican’’ or ‘‘pedagogue’’; these classifications are applied only by the media and the press (also the republicans) to help the public understand the situation more easily. The education debate between the republicans and the pedagogues can be traced back to the period of the French Revolution, during which the two had their respective discourses and debates on politics and education. From the 1970s to the 1980s, the education debate between the republicans and the pedagogues came to the most aggressive state; the debate initiated in the disagreement between the conservatives and the reformists. During that period and today, numerous educational writers have participated in this debate; phrases such as anti-pédagogisme (anti-pedagogism) and La Pédagogite (a person who advocates pedagogy only) are concepts that are exclusive to the education field in France. With these concepts and historical references, this article analyzes the essence of the republicans’ anti-pédagogisme, and the principal argument that the pedagogues make against it. This article explains the theme of ‘‘the bitter medicine versus the delicious soup for education.’’ This article considers the role and meaning of education in the context of inheriting tradition and in the context of reforming education. |
