Abstract | The academy is one of the legitimate sites within our culture where values of citizenship and democracy can be encouraged through a critical pedagogy that seeks to transform oppressive social relations that are often naturalized by what Louis Althusser called ideological state apparatuses--the media, family, schools, churches and so on. Several different models of education are available to the educator today, the most widespread of which is the transmission model. This model trains students in "what to know" and "what to believe" and behind this model lies an agenda of reward and obedience and conformity. A critical cultural view of pedagogical practice, however, realizes the power that teachers and schools have to transform and redefine existing social relations. This view posits that students can improve their lives by the liberatory potential of dialogue. This pedagogy might be the most appropriate for the speech communication classroom. One engine that may be used in this approach would be popular culture, where sensitive cultural issues of race and racism can be discussed. Stereotyping by the mass media can be shown with film clips, such as scenes from the movie "Witness." bell hooks's notion of the "Cool Pose" may be used to stimulate thinking about the Afrocentric aesthetic and its contribution to American culture. Critical pedagogy is necessary for the academy because it lets students know that the school is in the real world. (Contains 14 references.) (TB) |
