Description
Summary:In general, knowledge and tradition are credited with positive connotations. Popular definitions of knowledge carry surplus meaning evaluated even more positively than the attributes stereotypically assigned to tradition. In this article I intend to carry out preliminary recognition of the semiotics of what can be defined as a traditional model of a lesson, "reading into" the accepted definitions of knowledge, and teachers' and students' roles at school. In this way, I will try to identify the basic sources of such definitions. Later, I will reconstruct the selective effects of the inert maintenance of the concepts of knowledge and of the statuses and principles of the roles of teachers and students. Finally, I will indicate hypothetical reasons for why "the tradition of transmission" is maintained despite its disquieting results.
