Description

This book examines how critical thinking is regulated in Singapore through the process of what the seminal education theorist Bail Bernstein labelled as "pedagogic recontextualisation". The ability of critical thinking to encompass alternative possibilities, individual autonomy and liberal democracy is problematised in Singapore's anti-liberal political and social climate and the book studies the ways in which the nation state recontextualises its critical thinking methodologies as it grooms its people for an economy focused on "knowledge skills".
