Abstract
This essay explores the significance of critical pedagogy in addressing environmental and social challenges within educational institutions. By examining the viewpoints of ecopedagogy experts, the essay highlights the critical aspects of ecopedagogy applicable to various educational settings. The methodology involved an extensive search across online databases, books, and academic journals using keywords such as ecopedagogy, critical pedagogy, ecocentric pedagogy, and sustainability education. The findings emphasize that ecopedagogy enables learners to critically analyze socio-environmental injustices, thus qualifying it as a critical pedagogy. The implications of this research include the potential to develop a comprehensive ecopedagogy-based curriculum suited for diverse educational contexts.
