Examining the Pedagogical and Institutional Phenomena that Influence the Facilitation of Critical Consciousness
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study engaged grounded theory methodology to explore how critical pedagogy shaped and influenced the development of critical consciousness among preservice teacher candidates. The teacher participants revealed that facilitating critical consciousness was a complex process influenced by pedagogical and institutional mechanisms. The pedagogical mechanism of coercive power and the institutional mechanism of compressed time both limited opportunities for student agency and constrained the development of critical consciousness. Two professors were successful in countering the negative consequences of these institutional and pedagogical mechanisms by enacting a legitimate form of power and facilitating dialogical learning contexts. These efforts are highlighted in the paper as key attributes of consciousness raising learning experiences among the preservice teachers. Keywords: preservice teachers, critical pedagogy, critical consciousness, Faculty of Education, course-based learning experiences Cette étude, qui repose sur une méthodologie inspirée de la théorie à base empirique, explore la mesure dans laquelle la pédagogie critique a influencé le développement d’une conscience critique chez des enseignants en formation. Les enseignants participants ont révélé que la promotion de la conscience critique est un processus complexe qui est influencé par des mécanismes pédagogiques et institutionnels. Le mécanisme pédagogique du pouvoir coercitif et le mécanisme institutionnel du calendrier comprimé limitent tous les deux la marge de manœuvre des étudiants et contraignent le développement de la conscience critique. Deux professeurs ont réussi à contrer les conséquences négatives de ces mécanismes institutionnels et pédagogiques en exerçant une forme de pouvoir légitime et en facilitant des contextes d’apprentissage dialogique. L’article présente ces efforts comme étant les caractéristiques principales des expériences d’apprentissage ayant favorisé la prise de conscience chez les enseignants en formation. Mots clés: enseignants en formation; pédagogie critique; conscience critique; faculté d’éducation; expériences d’apprentissage basées sur les cours

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
