MANIPULATIONS IN THE EDUCATIONAL SPHERE: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

This paper presents a critical analysis of manipulative practices in the educational sphere, examining various types of manipulation, including manipulation, suggestion, attraction, and fascination, and their implications on individual, group, and societal levels. The study delves into how these distinct forms of manipulation manifest in educational settings, from one-on-one interactions between educators and students to broader, systemic influences that shape group behaviors and societal attitudes toward education. The leading research method is an analytical method which provides a comprehensive understanding of how suggestion, attraction, and fascination are employed as tools of influence, subtly shaping students' perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. The paper concludes with a discussion of the ethical implications of these manipulative practices. It underscores the need for educators to be aware of the impact of their influence and advocates for the development of ethical guidelines to ensure that manipulation in education serves the best interests of students, fostering an environment conducive to genuine learning and personal growth. The findings can contribute to a more ethical and conscious approach to educational practices, recognizing the profound impact that manipulation can have on the educational experience and longterm development of learners.
