Abstract

Acknowledging that school is not what it used to be and it is not for the people it used to be, the discussion at universi­ty level is centred on a false dichotomy: knowledge and experience. This dichot­omy is in most cases based on beliefs and not on knowledge resulting from situat­ed research. It is our aim to make a suggestion to the debate emanating from INFOD’s propos­al as our one decade knowledge fully rep­resents a famous assertion attributed by students to honour L. Stenhouse: only by understanding it, would teachers be able to change school. And understanding does not come from applied knowledge; nor does it come from experience. It originates in praxis. As teacher-trainers, we are socially re­sponsible for the professionals we train. Their commitment should be to battle exclusion.
