Teaching
In Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Freire (2000) discusses how education can be structured so as to empower marginalized and oppressed communities to liberate themselves from systems of oppression.
What is Emancipatory Education?
Known as the term that identifies the dominance of one group over another, it is largely taken for granted and is hence implicitly accepted by those who are dominated.
What is Hegemony?
This process can be used to help students become aware of the stereotypes which surround them. For
Example,
Students can do things likewatch a popular sitcom and make note of a wide variety of representations. In particular, they can pay attention to the intersections of attributes: What kinds of jobs do the women hold in the show? Is there a difference in the ways in which people of different racial or ethnic backgrounds speak? How is humor, intelligence, or education mapped onto the show's diversity?
What is Content Analysis?
Brazilian educational theorist Freire (1970) coined this term to indicate the teaching style that dominates Western schools.
What is the Banking Model of Teaching
the ability to work effectively with people from varied cultural backgrounds.
What is culture-competency?
In this model, goals and expectations are co-created by teacher and students, and new roles emerge, such as the teacher-student and the student-teacher (Breunig 2005).
What is the Liberatory Model of Teaching
The instructor excludes some learners through subtle actions such as calling primarily on male students or using examples solely from the predominant culture.
What is Implicitly Marginalizing?
This concept in critical pedagogy is based on the idea that teaching is inherently a political and transformational act and should be used to create a more just and equitable world.
What is Social Justice?
These are teaching practices that create classrooms, libraries, and, ultimately, communities that are more just and equitable for all members.
What is Critical Pedagogy
This model has four components: drive, knowledge, strategy, and action.
What is the Cultural Intelligence Model
Unlike 'high culture,' this typically does not require special training for its enjoyment, nor, in some cases, for its production. Furthermore, it is often mass circulated and takes up a significant part of many people's lives, in the form of movies, television, novels, comics, video games, websites, and so forth. It is considered by critical pedagogy to be significant both because of the fact that people are preoccupied with it as well as because of its capacity to allow a wide range of people to express themselves and to be heard.
What is popular or "pop" culture?
A notion developed by Paolo Freire, that indicates both an awareness of society's often hidden oppression as well as a commitment to act against it.
What is Critical Consciousness
Claims of colour blindness obscure structural disadvantages and genuine differences in people's experiences from marginalized groups (Princing, 2019).
What is unconscious bias?
The instructor intentionally integrates marginalized perspectives into course content, raises issues of diversity and inclusion, and takes action to foster sensitivity, such as establishing norms for discussion and group work.
What is Explicitly Centralizing?
A teaching approach that recognizes and builds on the strengths students bring to the classroom (Heinbach, 2019; Ilett, 2019; Kocevar-Weidinger et al., 2019; Matteson & Gersch, 2019; Tewell, 2020)
What is an Asset-based approach?
This is when students act in response to a reading they have been working on, or to a topic that concerns or interests them. A student is typically given the director's chair and charged with casting and elaborating upon the plot. Teachers participate as well, according to the students' direction. Often, scenes are re-enacted multiple times, using different actors or endings.
What is process drama?
treating the history and experiences of white, middle-class, heterosexual, cisgender, able-bodied people as universal or the norm, while presenting the history and experiences of other groups as unusual, exceptional, or only of interest to members of those communities.
What is Othering?
This becomes evident within a school or a classroom where students learn not through explicit teaching of the outlined objectives but through implicit lessons about what 'counts' as intelligence, good behaviour, citizenship, and so forth.
What is Hidden Curriculum?
A place where students are expected to ask questions during lectures, discuss ideas and even disagree with instructors and peers, and engage in self-directed learning activities
What are contemporary American classrooms?
These can influence written and conversational communication styles, preferences for individual or cooperative problem solving and study, tolerance for uncertainty, conventions of politeness, and expectations for how children will interact with adults (Brook et al., 2015; Cifuentes & Ozel, 2006; Gay, 2002; Weinstein et al., 2003).
What are cultural differences?
A term coined by Klein (1985), that refers to the process by which educators teach their students to read with a critical eye. Teachers can regularly emphasize to students that much of what is written, even if presented as fact, is an argument stemming from a particular point of view.
What is demystifying print?
In most schools, teachers are charged with implementing a curriculum developed by someone else, using pre-packed educational materials, in pursuit of educational goals they had no hand in creating.
What is Deskilling?
“the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”
What are micro-agressions?
Instructors who can attend to differences by interspersing discussion and active learning with direct instruction, encouraging questions and participation in discussions, and explaining how the planned activities support learning.
What are Culturally competent Instructors?
Learners come to classrooms with gaps in their knowledge and skills. Oftentimes, instructors seek out research that will help them identify these gaps in order to develop relevant content. While this research can provide valuable guidance for instructors, it is sometimes framed solely in terms of what learners are lacking and can lead us to focus exclusively on students’ weaknesses,
What is deficit based thinking?
