| "This volume outlines in clear and understandable language, as well as in an introductory form, some of the major tenets that have been constructed over the last 10 years around critical educational issues, typically termed critical pedagogy. Moving through an historical construction that pits a social efficiency ideology as opposed to the rise of the educational progressive movement, critical pedagogy is grounded through personal narrative dealing with understanding schools as part of a broader moral and spiritual crisis. Critical pedagogy is contextualized around such issues as resistance theory, popular culture, educational policy, urban education, multicultural education, as well as gender and professional concerns. Also connected to critical pedagogy are issues of school leadership and spirituality. Year: This primer in critical pedagogy is accessible both to professors and students. Each chapter ends with questions for discussion as well as classroom exercises. Pages: 200" |
