Peter, S., & Deimann, M. (2013). On the role of openness in education: A historical reconstruction. Open Praxis, 5(1), 7–14. https://doi.org/10.5944/openpraxis.5.1.23
In this article, the author provides the meaning of openness in education with a historical approach and current debates among the different open initiatives. I have learned from this paper that the beginning of the open education started by the students themselves and they desired to have knowledge. This impacted on the growth of universities. However, the shift from “pure” openness towards “pretended” openness is problematic. Some parts are not for learners but other stakeholders. Sometimes, I also often forgot the perspective of the importance of the open education as humanistic values and I shouldn’t have viewed the OER as ONLY efficient or pragmatic approach.
