Critical Pedagogy in STEM

Rissa Sorensen-Unruh and Sean Michael Morris discuss critical pedagogy in STEM on episode 303 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Critical pedagogy sort of insists on a human connection in teaching and learning.
-Sean Michael Morris

Active learning and critical pedagogy have a lot of overlap.
-Rissa Sorensen-Unruh

I’ve always felt that critical pedagogy itself is very flexible and has to be able to grow and change with the times, with technology, with audiences, and with our new awareness of social justice.
-Sean Michael Morris

Learning is really their journey. We can go together and I can be part of that…. But in the journey, itself, I’m a bystander.
