Taking notes while reading Brookfield's (2005) The Power of Critical Theory: Liberating Adult Learning and Teaching.

My most recent note is of Brookfield's description of Michael Newman's approach to critical education, which requires identifying and naming the enemy.

For Newman, critical thinking "is irrevocably linked to the exposure and overthrow of oppression, ruling-class hegemony, and capitalism" (p. 113).

Teaching to the test/curriculum is a #neuronormative practice.

To quote @alfiekohn, “Every hour spent on such exam preparation is an hour not spent helping students to become critical, creative, curious learners.”

Interesting article shows how #CriticalPedagogy enhances “critical awareness regarding hegemonic #datafication structures, while also arguing that despite a good level of consciousness raising, it remains difficult for people to go beyond subalternity and make more concrete changes in personal and collective behaviors.”

I appreciate the #hegemony analysis but somehow it also ends up with fostering individual skills again.
