Abstract

Comunities must explore alternative leadership ideologies to make meaningful academic and social improvements in the society. This research aims to explore Paulo Freire’s critical ideology that can be used to expand the conceptualizations of educational leadership and facilitate practical responses to multitudes of educational and social dilemmas in the society. The research method is a library study. This research found that Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed is not only related to school settings, but also it can work in other settings (e.g. neighborhood, mosque or church community, community centers, etc.) and can be manifested by community psychologists who have awareness and faith in their communities. Community psychologists should engage in people’s difficulties. Freire emphasizes the importance of dialogue. In this dialogue community psychologists must have faith in the capabilities of the oppressed to recognize and oppressive systems and structures that have affected their lives. Community psychologists and the oppressed should pay attention on the importance of the sense of collective efficacy for constructive changes. As a result, they will be able to build a foundation for wellness in their community.
