Antipedagogy
Antipedagogy (German: Antipädagogik; Ancient Greek: anti-against + pais-child, boy + agein- lead; UK: ), sometimes spelled anti-pedagogy with the hyphen, is a critical theory that examines traditional pedagogical dynamics, particularly scrutinizing the exercise of parental or educational authority as a violation of human rights. The anti-pedagogical enlightenment brings attention to the detrimental effects of conventional pedagogy and advocates for intergenerational equality.
