Abstract

The fundamental issues that help shape the criticism of technocratic narrowness among teaching professionals are examined in this paper. My major aim is to offer some observations about the root causes and wider educational consequences of this alleged narrowness in teacher thinking and behavior. My argument in the paper is based on the view that sociopolitical forces external to the school tend to constrict the pedagogical conduct of teachers.
