Antipedagogy

Antipedagogy (German: Antipädagogik; Ancient Greek: anti-against + pais-child, boy + agein- lead; UK: /æntjipɛdʔɡɒdʒi/) 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. In 1975, Ekkehard von Braunmühl laid the foundation for this theory with his publication, "Antipedagogy – Studies on the Abolition of Education".^[1]
