Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
Using critical discourse analysis this dissertation examined the mainstream, dominant discourse of the discipline of educational psychology. This analysis included a discussion of social, political, and epistemological issues. From a position of Foucauldian skepticism regarding the human sciences assumptions of educational psychology were interrogated, and the discipline as a "regime of truth"--a nexus of power, knowledge, and social control--was critiqued. Evidence was offered showing that the discourse of the discipline produces the "truth" of the discipline..
