Abstract: The intuitive idea of this paper is very simple, namely, when the educational work progresses from training, through shooling towards Bildung the role of the Hidden Curriculum increases. I analyse the concepts mentioned above one after the other and pay special attention to that of the Hidden Curriculum. It is not an easy concept to understand. It also seems like a potentially harmful factor in education. Finally I introduce the key praxiological notions of efficicieny and effectiveness and consider how this changes our view of the role of the Hidden Curriculum in education. My conclusion is that praxiological considerations can be used to keep the effects of the Hidden Curriculum at bay.
