Picking up on David's point re: Freire, which seems most pertinent to contemporary conjunctures of integrated crises?: - critical pedagogies and popular education:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_pedagogy

en.wikipedia.org
Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that has developed and applied concepts from critical theory and related traditions to the field of education and the study of culture. Advocates of critical pedagogy view teaching as an inherently
political act, reject the neutrality of knowledge, and insist that issues of social justice and democracy itself are not distinct ...

"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by
which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
"it is impossible to imagine a future unless we have located ourselves in the present and its history; however, the reverse is also true in that we cannot locate ourselves in the present and its history unless we imagine the future and commit to creating it" (Anna Stetsenko, 2015).

Hello all,
A great question and I think Kay has a good point about the terminology. There's little that's radically different for prevailing norms but I take my guidance from Freire's notion of conscientization and how we must become aware of the problem of the orthodox.
I'll make my points brief:
- large segments of academia use text primarily or solely
- large segments of academia give lectures routinely
- Most lectures rely mostly on words
- Our brains are kitted out to interrogate the world, and knowledge, visually, as well as with words
- An alternative pedagogy might look like Mayer's notion of multimedia, multisensory practice:
- "People learn better from multimedia messages when they are designed in ways that are consistent with how the human mind works and are consistent with research- based principles" (Mayer, 2014: 155).
- If prevalent, hegemonic lecturing was delivered in ways consistent with the brain's workings, it might constitute an alternative. or innovative, pedagogy?

Hello
A slightly more interesting question than my last one, I hope. I'm looking into alternative HE pedagogies at the moment and would be really interested to know what your views are here. For you, what are alternative pedagogies and do you have any examples that work well? I will collate and circulate answers.
Best wishes
Jo
