Kohti valveutumista ja ajattelun rajoja kriittisen pedagogiikan keinoilla

2018

Katsauksessa pohdimme kriittisen pedagogiikan mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettajaopiskelijoiden kykyä jäsentää yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden suhdetta kasvatukseen. Esimerkkinä käytämme Lapset elämänsä valtiaiksi -hanketta, jota Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun sosionomikoulutuksessa on toteutettu Venäjällä ja Virossa. Siinä sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen avulla, opiskelijoiden oman osallistumisen kautta, pyritään luomaan solidaarisuuteen ja tasa-arvoon kurkottavia yksilöitä. Toiminnan keskeisiä arvoja ovat yhteisöllisyys, osallistuminen, dialogi ja luovuus. Prosessin päämääränä on todellisuuden kriittinen tarkastelu ja siitä kumpuava toiminta. Kriittisen pedagogiikan sovelluksia toteutetaan yliopis…
