Abstract
The article begins by reviewing the problems and possibilities which emanate from education being located in university schools of education. It is noted that, to some extent, location of education within universities represents a ‘devil's bargain’: in the sense that faculties and schools of education have to face both towards the theoretical mission of the university and the practical mission of the field. The current fundamentalist movement to push education as a primarily practical matter is then reviewed and a series of issues and concerns raised. In the conclusion, a strategy for re‐integrating theory and practice in a more field‐based terrain is tentatively outlinedKeywords
