What is the defenition of an educational theorist?
An “educational theorist” is one who postulates a theory of education. Such as: 1 Behaviorism 2 Cognitivism 3 Constructivism Post Modern Educational Theorists always have something to sell. Thus, a working definition for an educational theorist could be a confidence man or scam artist. From Wikipedia: A confidence trick or confidence game, also known as a con, scam, grift, boo-boo, bunko or flim flam, is an attempt to intentionally mislead a person or persons (known as the “mark”) usually with the goal of financial or other gain. These quick-fix initiatives are purchased by schools and districts all over America in knee-jerk responses to poor standardized test scores. The consultants win year after year, and the students lose year after dismal year. Sounds like an educational theory? Maybe I should go into business for myself. Good Luck….
