A critical theory commits all participants, learners, practitioners and researchers, with an active transformation of the environment, aiming at higher goals beyond the academic: a more democratic and equitable society. Therefore this approach challenges the purpose of education in its very base.
A critical theory tries to look at the whole picture.
