Critical Pedagogy

Critical Pedagogy may lead to critical confusion!

Feed, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_pedagogy in the search box. This is what appears in the fourth paragraph."Critical pedagogy includes relationships between teaching and learning. Its proponents claim that it is a continuous process of what they call "unlearning," "learning," and "relearning," "reflection," "evaluation," and the impact that these actions have on the students, in particular students whom they believe have been historically and continue to be disenfranchised by what they call "traditional schooling."^{[citation needed]"}

^{If you further scroll down you see this:}

"Philosopher John Searle^[2] suggests that, despite the "opaque prose" and lofty claims of Giroux, he interprets the goal of Giroux's form of critical pedagogy "to create political radicals", thus highlighting the contestable and antagonistic moral and political grounds of the ideals of citizenship and "public wisdom"; these varying moral perspectives of what is "right" are to be found in what John Dewey ^[3] has referred to as the tensions between traditional and progressive education."

I am confused about what actually is Critical Pedagogy.These images are even more confusing.

It is hard for me to understand and un-jumble the critical Pedagogy links and  arrangements.

But I can understand, as I interpret this image

In critical pedagogy, students rise and fall. This happens to all. So what is new?
 This image is new!

Even if the roots and trunk of critical pedagogy are strong, leaves fall, rot faster than the former. Truth is CP should work harder to keep those leaves up there only. And this I think should be critical Pedagogy(CP)
Some say critical pedagogy is

"Critical Pedagogy, Popular Education and Transformative Learning inHigher Education" Where as others say "Polemics, propaganda and one-sided education: a defence"

What I say is critical pedagogy is skills to paint faces. It is a good skill for 21st century community development.

My simple conclusion after a long search, and research is this.

Critical pedagogy sends the students and teachers out for break.Maybe into the clouds.


Critical Pedagogy is confusing.It confused my child between whether I am a father or a mother!
