Teacher education should examine schooling’s socioeconomic and historical context, not just classroom practice.

Evidence

Freirean pedagogy encourages an exploration of the broader context in which schooling takes place together with an investigation of the immediate environment in which education of students is provided. For many studentteachers who are placed within schools in working-class communities in South Africa, a critical examination of the historical and socioeconomic or cultural context becomes an important discussion and how they relate to the political economy of education and society. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 203
