What Educational Experiences Can Be Provided That Are Likely to Attain These Purposes?

Essentially, learning takes place through the experiences which the learner has; that is, through the reactions he makes to the environment in which he is placed. Hence, the means of education are educational experiences that are had by the learner. (Tyler, 1949, p. 63)

To sum it up, it might be said that discipline creates out of the bodies if controls four types of individuality, or rather an individuality that is endowed with four characteristics: it is cellular, it is organic, it is genetic, it is combinatory. And, in doing so, it operates four great techniques: it draws up tables; it prescribes movements; it imposes exercises; lastly, in order to obtain the combination of forces, it arranges “tactics.” Tactics, the art of constructing, with located bodies, coded activities and trained aptitudes, mechanisms in which the product of the various forces is increased by their calculated combination are no doubt the highest form of disciplinary practice. (Foucault, 1977/1995, p. 167)
