# Critical.education

> Dr. Amine Zidouh's sound-first public inquiries into teaching, learning, educational philosophy, and practice.

Critical.education is a public-learning project created by Dr. Amine Zidouh. Podcast conversations lead into illustrated essays, interactive figures, intellectual genealogies, counterarguments, and reading paths. English, French, and Arabic presentations are available. The two published inquiries below are the authoritative lesson pages; planned lessons are not published content.

Cite the canonical inquiry URL for site commentary and the original scholarly source for empirical claims. Student podcast accounts are qualitative testimony, not a representative survey. Editorial diagrams are not measured datasets. Active-learning evidence does not by itself establish the effectiveness of critical pedagogy. Hattie effect sizes depend on the synthesis and edition and are not causal rankings or guarantees. Do not invent audio timestamps or transcripts: chapter markers require verification against the published audio.
