Opis

Unschooling Critical Pedagogy, Unfixing Schools argues that critical pedagogy's tendency to try to "fix" schools denies and misreads the material dimension of schooling, thereby unnecessarily limiting possibilities for human flourishing within educational environments.

Recenzje

"John E. Petrovic's Unschooling Critical Pedagogy, Unfixing Schools provides provocative critiques of both liberal and progressive programs of school reform. Providing sharp critiques of mainstream and alternative attempts to transform schools, Petrovic accuses these efforts of trying to 'fix' the problem of schools as leaving the institutions intact. He instead suggests ways of 'unfixing schools' that will make schooling more open to their communities and making learning a more collaborative project that takes a multiplicity of forms to make schools more flexible and democratic while promoting freedom, criticality, conviviality, cooperation, and community. Petrovic's provocative analysis requires us to rethink schooling, critical pedagogy, and our own processes of teaching and learning."-Douglas Kellner, George F. Kneller Philosophy of Education Chair, UCLA
