Some underlying principles • Autonomy of the learner • Students creating their understandings of rights • Role of student’s objective reality • Accessing prior knowledge and positions • Teaching to assist students to critically examine unconscious beliefs • With thanks to F. Tibbitts at:- http://www.tc.edu/centers/epe/PDF%20articles/Tibbitts_ch12_22feb08.pdf

  3. Principles continued • Rights should not be learned as a body of esoteric knowledge to be learned from experts. • The active engagement of the students is key • Shift in pedagogy from the didactic teaching of a defined body of technical/scientific knowledge to be retained towards - - • A pedagogy that unlocks the students own knowledge and assists them in creating their own ideas about rights.
