Learning to decide: Intelligent choice as a means and an end in education.
Fridley, Daryl Edwin.

Learning to decide: Intelligent choice as a means and an end in education. - 159 p.

Advisers: John McIntyre; Kathy Hytten.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, 2006.

The debate over the aims of schooling is so chaotic and acrimonious that the hope of ever finding an aim upon which we can agree seems a utopian fantasy. Yet, without such an aim, we will continue to work at cross-purposes, making so many apparently disconnected demands upon students and teachers that we undermine their chances of accomplishing anything meaningful. In this dissertation, I assert that we actually do share a common aim, one that Dewey put forth and has since been echoed by several other commentators: assisting students in learning to make more intelligent choices. In addition, we share a set of principles, embodied in the method of inquiry, that we employ regularly because we believe they help us to make better decisions. Choices about schooling, then, should be made in service to expanding young peoples' ability to inquire thoughtfully and decide intelligently.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The debate over the aims of schooling is so chaotic and acrimonious that the hope of ever finding an aim upon which we can agree seems a utopian fantasy. Yet, without such an aim, we will continue to work at cross-purposes, making so many apparently disconnected demands upon students and teachers that we undermine their chances of accomplishing anything meaningful. In this dissertation, I assert that we actually do share a common aim, one that Dewey put forth and has since been echoed by several other commentators: assisting students in learning to make more intelligent choices. In addition, we share a set of principles, embodied in the method of inquiry, that we employ regularly because we believe they help us to make better decisions. Choices about schooling, then, should be made in service to expanding young peoples' ability to inquire thoughtfully and decide intelligently.
520 $a Citing commentators from across the ideological spectrum, I argue that increasing powers of intelligent choice is a commonly accepted aim of schooling and that the skills and knowledge required for meeting such a goal are the same ones necessary for achieving other aims such as occupational preparation, disciplinary literacy, and democratic education. In addition, I cite research suggesting that the characteristics of a curriculum aimed at developing powers of intelligent choice are also characteristics that increase student engagement.
520 $a An educational aim is useless if the activities needed to achieve it are impossible to conduct in the real-life environment of schools. I note, however, that writers like George Wood and Deborah Meier, as well as organizations like the Coalition of Essential Schools, offer us numerous examples of teachers and schools currently providing students with opportunities to practice inquiry and reflective decision-making. Helping students learn to choose more intelligently is both desirable and possible.
