Literature Review from the year 2006 in the subject Pedagogy - Theory of Science, Anthropology, grade: none, Concordia University Montreal, language: English, abstract: Alan Sears and Emery Hyslop-Margison, in "e;The Cult of Citizenship Education"e;, illuminate the driving discourse behind the seeming explosion in democratic citizenship education reform with particular attention to the last decade. Sears and Hyslop-Margison lay a solid foundation of scholarship to support their claim of a climate of educational reform driven by mere slogans and dogma, rather than any meaningful research or reliable data. Calling on Janice Gross Stein s 2001 Massey Lectures, "e;The Cult of Efficiency"e;, Sears and Hyslop-Margison, in accessible terms, explain that meaningful dialogue around issues of educational reform is precluded by the participants being caught up in a maze of rapid-fire rhetoric. As a result, "e;The Cult of Citizenship Education"e;, is a call for a more careful, thoughtful, and nuanced approach in understanding and promoting democratic citizenship education and its reform.
