Multiple Dilemmas of Help and Counteraction to Teaching in Complex Social Worlds. Commentary on the Article: M.Kline 'How to Learn about Teaching: An Evolutionary Framework for the Study of Teaching Behavior in Humans and Other Animals'

Abstract

Human civilization has a system of different social tools, institutions, and types of positive and negative work with teaching/learning determined by different interests of many actors. Negative work is more hidden and less studied. A paradoxical adaptive problem for teachers with good intentions is design of teaching/learning that equips pupils for learning in future environments unknown to the teachers.

Keywords: deceptive teaching, 'Trojan horse' teaching, counteraction to teaching, dilemmas of teaching/learning, developing education
