Education and that slender technique called the 'Examinaton'.


"I was really good at exams, or is that me just bigging myself up?"


The distributions and appropriateness of discourses in education are mediated by the EXAMINATION.

The process of Examining conceals a whole discourse of power.
And the examination is a key concept in understanding the nexus, or series of  connections of the power discourses that are concealed in 'knowledge'.

"They are mainly Foucaults thoughts and I would have to say I agree with him."

"But wasn't Foucualt himself the arch pedagogue?"

"Yes, but his discourse was that we should be cognisant of the discourses of power and endeavour to unearth them. "

"Such as?"
"The power discourses in the Examination."
