Positions

According to its founder, Heinz-Joachim Heydorn (1916–1974), education is the process in which the individual enters his or her own history as a subject. According to Heydorn, education is the exit from underage and it should enable people to behave politically and in solidarity. This also includes the aesthetic experiences in which the subject becomes aware of himself. Education theory criticizes, among other things, the existing tripartite school system , which reproduces the tripartite class structure of society. According to its founders, the critical educational theory is suitable for uncovering domination, contradictions and dialectical relationships.

Other important representatives of critical educational theory include Gernot Koneffke , Peter Euler and Ludwig A. Pongratz .
