Critical pedagogy is a teaching approach that 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 pedagogue
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 clichés, 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)
Critical Pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and
learning. It is a continuous process of unlearning, learning and
relearning, reflection, evaluation and the impact that these actions
have on the students, in particular students who have been
historically and continue to be disenfranchised by traditional
schooling.
