商品簡介
According to Freire, as we teach to the test rather than with the students, wemarginalize more and more people economically and therefor in education, and move the majority of stakeholders in developed nations away from political and social action we pay a higher and higher price in lost opportunities, ideas and people. Freire countered this trend with his brand of critical pedagogy, and so do the contributors of these 20 articles. They focus on theory in commentary on the evolution of Freire's concepts, religion as socio-educational critique, the crisis of imagination, the big and small narratives, neoliberalism, performance pedagogy, the media, globalized language teaching, popular culture, the young child, hope, music, the violence of high-stakes testing, testimony, radicalizing prospective teachers, political dimensions of critical pedagogy, decolonization, engagement, materialist critical pedagogy, the tragic sense of modern education, and the process of re-defining critical pedagogy.
