Agency in critical education

Article Abstract:

The role of contradictory normative values operating as foundation premises in both traditional and critical pedagogy was studied. Implicit ideological values operate as determinants within the linguistic economy of pedagogy. Critical pedagogy should take into account and utilize the multicultural differences students bring into the classroom. Uncritical acceptance by educators of the rationalist notion of agency is the cause of the present educational crisis.

Worker education and oral history in Denmark

Article Abstract:

The role of oral history in worker education was studied. Although oral tradition has significantly democratized written labor history in Denmark, it still has to be developed into a field of research for worker education methodology. Past studies have shown that narrative tradition can be utilized in the development of worker consciousness. Workers' individual histories can be synthesized to form a larger picture of labor history.
