Nevertheless, we are witnessing an increasing tendency amongst opinion leaders, from management consultants to religious fundamentalists, to inform us that dilemmas either do not really exist or are merely problems awaiting the ?right? solution (which they happen to possess). Such moral certainty is dangerously mistaken, breeding extremism and undermining democratic values. Education can become a kind of preparation for Multiple Choice Question-type exams or TV quizzes, with facts recalled under pressure of time and problems needing fast solutions. Problems, however, are different from dilemmas; they have solutions and disappear as soon as these are found. Dilemmas leave you with an aftertaste and a sense of regret about the rejected alternative. 410 0$aCritical issues in the future of learning and teaching ;$vVolume 14. 606 $aEducation$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aEducation$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a370.114 700 $aMiller$b Patrick$g(Patrick F.),$0848666 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817956203321 996 $aDilemmas and decisions$93913249 997 $aUNINA
