The Best of Both Worlds: A Critical Pedagogy of Place

Abstract: Taking the position that "critical pedagogy" and "place-based education" are mutually supportive educational traditions, this author argues for a conscious synthesis that blends the two discourses into a critical pedagogy of place. An analysis of critical pedagogy is presented that emphasizes the spatial aspects of social experience. This examination also asserts the general absence of ecological thinking demonstrated in critical social analysis concerned exclusively with human relationships. Next, a discussio… Show more

“…Contextually responsive strategies are based on the philosophy that students learn better when material is personally, historically, culturally, and geographically relevant. The concept is related to contextual learning, place-based education and environmental education [18]. Contextually responsive PBL can address achievement gaps by valuing diversity (cultural, racial, ability level, etc.)…”

“…Ont également été privilégiés, dans le cadre de la recherche, des approches et des courants où l'extérieur est utilisé comme salle de classe et où le lieu se situe dans une position différente dans la triade éducative. Ces approches s'appuient sur un principe d'accès direct au concept c'est-à-dire dans sa réalité, et non par l'intellectualisation de l'objet d'apprentissage, notamment la pédagogie du lieu « place-based » (Gruenewald, 2003), de même que l'écoformation (Cottereau, 1994(Cottereau, , 2000(Cottereau, , 2003. Ces approches ont constitué, avec la pédagogie autochtone, les fondements théoriques pour le développement de situations d'apprentissage utilisant le milieu de vie des élèves.…”

“…En l'absence d'une traduction satisfaisante, nous avons pris la liberté d'identifier comme pédagogie du lieu la pédagogie dite place-based pedagogy ou pedagogy of place. Il s'agit d'une approche développée par des Étatsuniens, entre autres par Gruenewald (2003), avec sa proposition de la « critical pedagogy of place ». Cette approche se situe majoritairement, mais non exclusivement, dans le cadre de l'ERE et est définie par Rae et Pearse (2004) est issu de l'environnement local, qu'il soit culturel, physique ou historique, encourageant le partage des apprentissages entre l'apprenant et l'éducateur ; ces mêmes apprentissages sont acquis par le biais de l'expérience.…”

“…Smith (2002) articulated five different approaches to place-based education: (1) cultural studies involving students in studying local cultural or historical events; (2) nature studies by investigating the physical world; (3) real-world problem solving by locating, reflecting on and developing solutions to local community or school issues; (4) entrepreneurial opportunities by investigating relationships between vocation and place; and (5) participation in community decision-making. In recognizing that conceptions of place-based education ignored critical perspectives on culture, ecology, and schooling, while critical theory ignored attention to place, Gruenewald's (2003b) work adds a sixth approach framed as a "critical pedagogy of place.
