چکیده مقاله :

The paper explores the intersection of critical pedagogy and cognitive load theory from a sociological perspective. Critical pedagogy emphasizes empowering students to critically examine and transform oppressive social conditions, whereas, cognitive load theory focuses on managing intrinsic cognitive load, and optimizing instructional design to reduce extraneous cognitive load and enhance learning. The study examines the potential synergies and tensions between these two frameworks. It considers how sociological factors like race, class, gender, and power relations shape students' cognitive processing and learning experiences. It also explores how critical pedagogy can be implemented in a way that manages cognitive load and facilitates effective learning. The study attempts to provide key insights into integrating critical pedagogy and cognitive load theory through a sociological lens to create transformative learning experiences that empower students to decipher and alter oppressive social structures.
