WHAT IS CRITICAL PEDAGOGY?
“Critical pedagogy…affords students the opportunity
to read, write and learn from a position of agency-to engage in
a culture of questions…imagining literacy
as a mode of intervention, a way of learning
about the word as a basis for intervening in the world….”
Henry A. Giroux, On Critical Pedagogy.
THREE REASONS FOR CRITICAL PEDAGOGY
• Identity
“…the experience of the learning self is invented in and through its
engagement with pedagogy’s force.
This self emerges along with the new concepts that its participation in a particular
pedagogy helps to create and the new challenges that its participation helps to pose.”
Elizabeth Ellsworth, Places of Learning
THREE REASONS FOR CRITICAL PEDAGOGY
