Critical Pedagogy
Critical Pedagogy follows, Paulo Freire : who is
generally considered to be “ the inaugural philosopher
of critical pedagogy.” Freire used the term “Critical
pedagogy” himself when describing this philosophy.
After Freire Wexler, Mclaren, Ira Shor, Darder worked
on this.
Critical pedagogy is the means and methods of testing
& attempting to change the structures of school that
allows inequalities. It is cultural-political tool that
takes seriously the notion of human differences
particularly those related to race, gender and class.
“Critical pedagogy is both a way of thinking about
and negotiating through praxis the relationship
among classroom teaching, the production of
knowledge, the larger institutional structures of the
school, and the social and material relations of the
wider community, society and nation state”
(Breunig, 2005).
Critical pedagogy is a cultural-political tool that
takes seriously the notion of human differences,
particularly as these differences relate to race,
class, and gender.
Definitions
“Critical pedagogy refers to the ability to analyze, expose
and challenge the hidden social, cultural and political
processes that are part of knowledge production including
how one’s views and assumptions come from a particular
cultural & historical formation.”
McLaren defines critical pedagogy as follows:
Critical pedagogy is a way of thinking about, negotiating,
and transforming the relationship among classroom
teaching, the production of knowledge, the institutional
structure of the school, and the social and material relations
of the wider community, society, and, nation.
Criticalpedagogy may be defined as an approach
to education which encourages students first to
become conscious of the social oppressions or
dominations around them(racism, castism, sexism
etc) & second to reflect on the actions which may
be required to become free from those oppressions
or dominations.
How to be Critically Conscious
According to Ira Shor (1992) a student can be
critically conscious by: Thinking, reading, writing, and
speaking while going beneath the surface meaning.
A student must go beyond: Myths, clichés, received
wisdom, and mere opinions
Most importantly students must understand the deep
meaning, root causes, social context, and personal
consequences of: Any action, Object, Process,
Experience, Organization, Subject matter, Mass Media,
Text, Policy etc.
Examples
Change in relationship between student & teacher
The rejection of Economic determination: race,
class, gender, religion.
Role of School & Teacher

School should foster public values-accountability, responsiveness etc.
School should provide sense of democratic community for teachers &
students
Role of teacher:

A major function of critical pedagogy is to critique, expose, and challenge
the manner in which schools impact upon the political & cultural life of
students.

democratic way.

Differentiation
Differentiated instruction/learning is the process
of ensuring that what a student learns, how he /she
learns it, how the students demonstrate what
he/she has learned is a match for that student’s
readiness level, interests, & preferred mode of
learning.
Differentiated instruction is an approach to
teaching & learning for students with different
abilities in the same classroom.
Differentiation
“Differentiation is the process by which
curriculum objectives, teaching methods,
assessment methods, resources & learning
activities are planned to cater the needs of the
individual learner.”
“Differentiation is teaching strategy which helps
us to recognize student varying background
knowledge readiness, language, preferences in the
learning, interests and to react responsively.”
Principles of differentiation
Assessment is ongoing & tightly linked to
instruction.
Teachers ensure respectful activities for all
students.
Flexible grouping is a hallmark of the class –
sometimes students work with peers on the same
level of readiness & sometimes with different
levels of readiness.
Characteristics
Assessment is ongoing & diagnostic to understand
how to make instruction more responsive to
learner need.
Focuses on multiple forms of intelligence is event.
Students are frequently guided in making interest
