Pedagogy

We live in a social world, therefore the knowledge that is taught in the classroom is heavily based upon the social culture. "Critical pedagogy asks how and why knowledge gets constructed the way it does, and how and why some constructions of reality are legitimated and celebrated by the dominant culture while others clearly are not. Critical pedagogy asks how our everyday commonsense understandings-our social constructions or "subjectives"-get produced and lived out." (p. 409) It is the socioculture dimension of the schooling process.
