Abstract

The thesis proposes a defence of a late-modern pedagogy which was risen by what Sennet calls the new capitalism, and it has transformed contemporary education tremendously. The term coined for the form under consideration here is ‘utilitarian pedagogy’. Educators and researchers have increasingly debated about complexities of impacting on students’ individual developments and contemporary educational reformation. The author analyzed the characteristics and restrictions in order to conclude the utilitarianism pedagogy’s influence on modern education. Consequences demonstrated a unique lens as the pedagogy could maximize utilitarianism but almost neglected individual all-around developments.
