Hegemony
In Giroux's critical pedagogy, hegemony refers to the cultural dominance or control exercised by a dominant group, affecting how knowledge is constructed and disseminated in society and schools.
Resistance Theory
Giroux places emphasis on resistance theory which acknowledges that students may resist learning due to the disempowerment they feel in a system that does not value their cultural backgrounds or personal experiences.
Hidden Curriculum
Giroux argues that education contains a 'hidden curriculum' that reinforces social norms and the status quo, transmitting implicit messages about values, beliefs, and expectations to students.
Praxis
In the context of Giroux's critical pedagogy, praxis is the process of enacting and reflecting on theory through practice, enabling educators and learners to critically analyze situations and take action to change them.
