Description du livre
This book calls for a paradigm shift in education through Transformative- Emancipatory Pedagogy (TEP), a dynamic approach rooted in humanistic, humanizing, and decolonial philosophies. TEP promotes holistic, relational, and experiential learning to support both personal and societal transformation. More than a framework for inclusion, it reimagines education as a space for justice oriented inquiry, empathy, and agency. Drawing on empirical evidence, it shows that we need not compromise between academic rigor, ethical purpose, and broad educational goals. By valuing learners’ diverse knowledge and lived experiences, TEP cultivates critical thinking, relational awareness, a sense of interconnectedness, well-being, active citizenship, and other key skills needed for today’s complex world—preparing learners to tackle challenges and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future. Initially developed to engage with sensitive and controversial topics in diverse social science classrooms, TEP aspires to become a bold and widely applicable approach. As such, TEP is presented as one way forward to support the broader shift unfolding in education today.
