Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryThis text is an accessible analysis of critical pedagogy and articulates multiple ways of applying its principles in various contexts. This powerful analysis of the often difficult rhetoric of critical pedagogy argues that critical pedagogy opens the door to a broader and deeper perspective on teaching and learning in the classroom and the community. The text strongly encourages teachers to continuously adapt teaching beliefs and strategies to meet the needs of today's classrooms. Critical Pedagogy, 3/e, offers thoughtful examination of the theoretical models of critical pedagogy in an engaging, understandable writing style. |

I can't believe this was used in a university level class.
Rating: 
I can't believe that this was used in a university level class. This book was more the author's ramblings than information. She spends pages musing.
Completely useless! I seriosly question the judgement of faculty/administration that approve the use of this book.
Don't waste your money
Rating:
This book is a horrible read. It is boring and lifeless. What she covers in 8 chapters could easily have been covered in a well developed handout. I don't care for her repetitious writing nor her family experiences. It seems like a vain attempt to include her family in her writing instead of using real teachers in real classrooms (which she only does briefly). As I said, don't waste your money.
Critial Pedagogy
Rating:
As a student teacher, to other student teachers, I suggest that one of the best things you can for yourself is to read Joan Wink's book "Critical Pedagogy". In this book she was able to explain that there are many different meaning to the words Critical Pedagogy. You as a teacher will have to find your own meaning and through Dr. Wink's book she was able to help me give meaning to how I can use these words. I now know that it is not only teaching students but alos learning through the teaching of your students.
This book was a good read and I breezed through its content easily as it explained many words I was not familiar with before. This book also gave me a greater knowledge and insight to many of the people who have dedicated their ideas to her writing. Ideas that came from greats such as Dewey, Vygolsky, Freire, Krashen, and many more which would take up a whole page by itself.
To read a book that gives the reader what they will need for a class is great. But, to have everything in one small book was extreamly effective for me because I will now have a reference to use throughout my teaching experience. I especially liked how she incorporated the use of her own children in the text, not to belittle them but to give us insight to the problems that each of us may have in the teaching world. Thank you again Professor Joan Wink for all you will teach us.
A not-so-critical review on 'Critical Pedagogy'
Rating:
The teaching profession can swallow up a teacher new to the profession if that teacher does not have the proper tools to be ready. While Critical Pedagogy by Joan Wink is not the single most important tool that is going to prepare the new teacher, having it as a possession certainly is wise to the incoming teacher. In Critical Pedagogy, Wink covers a number of concepts that will be valuable to the teacher who wants to be impact the classroom. What is admirable in this book are the real world examples that are cited in the book and used to describe the rights and errors that teachers can make in their profession. Furthermore, the book understands it is not only about the teachers here. It supplies methods for getting the most out of students. After reading about the experience of Wink and others that she cites, the children are the benefactors of these methods to teaching.
There are few things I am 'critical' of in this book. My major vice is the writing style. It is probably due to what I have learned and comfortable with, but the writing style can take some getting use to at first. As a reader, I feel that the book does jump around a little time to time with its stories. However, rather than lash out at this, I have come to instead unlearn and relearn this new style of writing, just one of the concepts the book touches upon. Aside from that vice, I highly recommend this book for teachers who want the best of their students. I do want to end my review with this: Critical Pedagogy will encourage and strike a chord anyone who cares about making a difference to the children they come to know.
Critical Pedagogy - the real story
Rating:
After getting over the feeling like I had just opened up and read my professor's personal diary, I took a deep breath and began to realize that the stories and real-life experiences told were where the real learning takes place. Anybody can list history, theories, names and dates, but if the true goal is to understand the concepts, what better way to hit a home run than to make it personal and memorable. Joan Wink's book is honest, practical, and not in the usual textbook boring style. I'm sure I'll come up with my own definition of critical whatever someday, for now I'll keep trying to pronounce conscientization! I enjoyed reading this book, thank you for making it real.
