Preferred term

indoctrination  

Definition

  • Indoctrination represents a classic dilemma in the field of curriculum studies and raises the issue of whether all acts of teaching impose content, perspective, or values. In essence, indoctrination refers to both a normative belief that teachers should impose good values on students and an empirical belief that schools do in fact impose values on students. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; Indoctrination]
