Abstract:
This essay uses Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a way of conceptualising modern institutional education. The over-systematisation of formal education which characterises professional teaching and learning in the twenty-first century is designated “SysEd.” The flaws in SysEd are discussed and a less structured space of educational experience, named “ardenspace,” is described in theoretical and practical terms. The characters and plot of The Tempest are used to embody this argument.
