Abstract

Ivan Illich’s "Deschooling Society" presents a radical critique of traditional education systems, advocating for their dismantling and the adoption of a decentralized, learner-centric model. Illich's arguments against the institutionalization of education, the hidden curriculum, and the monopoly of formal schooling remain relevant in today's educational discourse. The advent of digital technology personalized learning, and alternative education models such as homeschooling and unschooling, echo Illich’s vision by promoting self-directed, lifelong learning. Critical pedagogy and community-based learning networks further align with his call for more participatory and egalitarian education. However, challenges such as ensuring equity, scalability, and socialization persist, requiring thoughtful implementation of Illich’s ideas. As modern education grapples with issues of accessibility and relevance, Illich’s work inspires ongoing critical examination and innovation. His vision challenges us to create educational environments that empower individuals, foster creativity, and address social inequalities, thus contributing to a more just and liberated society.

Abstract

Idealism, a philosophy emphasizing the mental and spiritual aspects of reality, has profoundly influenced educational theory and practice. Rooted in the works of Plato and other classical philosophers, idealism prioritizes intellectual, moral, and ethical development over mere acquisition of factual knowledge. In contemporary education, idealism remains relevant through its advocacy for holistic development, critical thinking, and the cultivation of self-realization. Modern educational practices, such as social-emotional learning, personalized learning, and the integration of the arts and humanities, reflect idealistic principles. However, idealism also faces criticisms for its abstract nature, potential elitism, and lack of emphasis on vocational training. Despite these challenges, idealism offers valuable insights into creating a balanced and comprehensive educational approach that nurtures well-rounded individuals capable of critical thinking and moral reasoning. Integrating idealistic principles with modern educational practices can address current educational challenges and foster a more enriching learning environment.
