商品簡介
This is a paperbound reprint of a 2006 book. McLean (education, U. of Oxford) makes good use of Freire and other modern thinkers about education in this eminently readable and often moving call for better efforts at creating a cohesive pedagogy for higher education that takes advantage of the its students' eventual roles in society. McLean applies critical theory to the possibilities for a university pedagogy, examines socio-historical options and constraints, and argues for close assessment of pedagogic quality, given the stakes and risks. She explains how pedagogy applies to justice and vice versa, the resource that is student experience in the development of communicative reason, the intellectualization of university teaching and student learning, the development of an environment for critical pedagogy, and the close ties between pedagogy and justice in society.
