- This article tries to show some practical and moral shortcomings of the technology of control. But it should not be construed as an argument against planful teaching. For arguments in favor of plan-fulness , see Kenneth R. Conklin , “Developmental Psychology vs. the Open Classroom,” The Educational Forum 39 ( November 1974 ): 43 – 47 . For a deeper analysis and attempted synthesis of the technology of control and the open classroom, see Kenneth R. Conklin, “Scientific Control vs. Humanistic Freedom: A Synthesis With Regard to the 'Discipline Problem',” Focus on Learning (forthcoming).
