Topic talk:Critical pedagogy
copyright[edit source]
Hi, the first part is a 99% copy from Wikipedia`s article Critical pedagogy:
Critical pedagogy is a teaching approach which attempts to help students question and challenge domination, and the beliefs and practices that dominate. In other words, it is a theory and practice of helping students achieve critical consciousness. Critical pedagogic educator Ira Shor defines critical pedagogy as
Habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional cliches, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse. (Empowering Education, 129)
In this tradition the teacher works to lead students to question ideologies and practices considered oppressive (including those at school), and encourage liberatory collective and individual responses to the actual conditions of their own lives.
Could there please be done at least some rearranging of the sentences or Wikipedia as source should be mentioned. ----Erkan Yilmaz (evaluate me!, discussion) 15:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
