Pedagogi Shalom: Analisis Kristis Terhadap Pedagogi Kritis Henry A. Giroux dan Relevansinya Bagi Pendidikan Kristen di Indonesia

Abstract

This paper is a critical analysis toward critical pedagogy in education using the concept of the pedagogy of shalom. Critical analysis is undertaken not to imply that critical pedagogy as formulated by Giroux is a wrong concept but this paper aims to recover the fragility and refining that has not been perfect through the values of the divine pedagogy of shalom. C ritical pedagogy and shalom pedagogy struggle to question and challenge the mindset and lifestyle underlying the pedagogy of neoliberal that emphasisses market fundamentalism and ultimately create oppression, social injustice and revoke democracy. Based on this orientation, pedagogy of shalom is introduced to reinforce the foundations and basic theories of critical pedagogy so it doesnnot merely align to activism, with out reconciliation and to avoid arrogant of social movements and the criticism to power but without the establish ment of love. The main objective is to achieve social and political changes to the better so that public can live in just, free, prosperous and equitable society . This article further seeks possibility to apply the concept of the pedagogy of shalom in the context of Christian education in Indonesia
