Explanation:
Learning to perceive social, political, and economic contradictions--developing a critical awareness--so that individuals can take action against the oppressive elements of reality (Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed 19, translator's note).

http://mingo.info-science.uiowa.edu/~stevens/critped/terms.h...

The term Conscientization comes from the Portuguese term Conscientizacão. Paulo Freire used the term Conscientizacão in his book Pedagogy of the Oppressed, written in 1970.
Conscientization refers to a type of learning which is focused on perceiving and exposing social and political contradictions. Conscientization also includes taking action against oppressive elements in your life as part of that learning. Conscientisation proceeds through the identification of "generative themes", iconic representations that have powerful emotional impact in the daily lives of learners. In this way it helps end the "culture of silence" in which the socially dispossessed internalise the negative images of themselves held by the oppressor in situations of extreme poverty. Liberating learners from this mimicry of the powerful, and is resulting fratricidal violence, was a major goal of Conscientisation. This is a major part of Paulo Freire's problem posing education or Popular Education (In Brazil it is called pt:Educação popular)

german literature and education for conscientization
Bewusstseinserweckung


Explanation:
Der Begriff 'Entwicklungspädagogik' wird jedoch ebenfalls häufig verwandt, um eine Erziehungsmethode zu beschreiben, die sich auf einen pädagogischen Prozeß konzentriert, der seine Ursprünge in den Bemühungen Paulo Freires um die Erwachsenenalphabetisierung in Lateinamerika hat. Das Ziel dieser Form von Entwicklungspädagogik ist es, Menschen auf die Teilnahme an Wandlungsprozessen vorzubereiten. Eine zentrale Rolle spielt hierbei das Konzept der 'Bewußtseinserweckung' (conscientization). Robin Burns schreibt zu der terminologischen Verwirrung auf diesem Gebiet:

"Globale/ internationale Pädagogik, Weltstudien, Gerechtigkeitserziehung und Entwicklungspädagogik [,] und Friedenspädagogik sind benutzt worden, um sich dem Konzept der Bewußtseinserweckung auf eine Art und Weise zu verpflichten, die sich nur wenig von Entwicklungspädagogik unterscheidet." (Burns 1980: 263)
