I believe the answer is no but would love to be challenged in my thinking. My thinking is - drawing on Resistance Theory (think Paul Willis, Henri Giroux and the like) students can be described as educationally resistant. Yet are they not only resistant to a form of education, mainly that of traditional mainstream schools such as the transmission or banking model? Therefore, is the correct term school resistant. I will go further and suggest the term educationally resistant is outdated and inaccurate altogether.
I would guess they can be depending on the context in which they are used. Could it be that this goes back to the distinction between school & education (or education unit) generally?
Students in higher education may be resistant to traditional education due to the attractions of smart technology. However, it would be an oversimplification to state that they are resistant to certain forms of education. Some are certainly appreciative of constructivism.
Thanks, I hear the importance of context and conceptual clarity which can be achieved.
