Abstract

The article's purpose is to develop a meaningful theory of freedom and relate it to educational policy and practice. First, the concept of freedom is analyzed; then some salient views of student freedom (progressivism, libertarianism, and essentialism) are evaluated; and finally, a resolution is undertaken of the problems raised by developing a position that relates freedom and authority more effectively than the previous positions reviewed.
