About

Muh. Idris is a scholar whose work critically examines the intersection of education, liberation, and social justice. His primary research area centers on the philosophy of education, with a particular focus on the liberatory pedagogy of Paulo Freire. Idris’s major contribution lies in his sustained analysis of how educational systems can become instruments of oppression, stripping individuals of their inherent value and autonomy under the guise of democratic ideals. His most cited paper, "Pendidikan Pembebasan: Telaah Terhadap Pemikiran Paulo Freire" (2009), which has garnered 8 citations, delves into this paradox, arguing that true education must be a practice of freedom rather than a tool for domination. A later iteration of this work (2020, 5 citations) continues this exploration, highlighting how institutional structures often perpetuate the very inequalities they claim to dismantle. Through his incisive critique, Idris challenges educators and researchers to rethink the purpose of schooling, advocating for a model that empowers rather than subjugates. His scholarship serves as a vital resource for those interested in critical pedagogy, offering a compelling call to action for a more just and humane educational landscape.
