critical pedagogy

Researchers at a Brazilian university propose using frame analysis from Cognitive Linguistics to help public school students deconstruct disinformation, combining linguistic analysis of real social media texts with Critical Pedagogy in a two-block workshop structure.

This paper presents a Brazilian public school project that uses frames, narratives, and critical pedagogy to teach students how fake news works from the inside. From analyzing “electoral fraud” frames to decoding vaccine conspiracies, students learn to dismantle manipulation through language.
