This paper is a critique toward traditional pedagogy in education through a critical pedagogy perspective as formulated by Henry Giroux. Critical pedagogy is an attempt to question and to uncover the existing power relations in society which create various forms of subordination and social injustice. Critical pedagogy offers extended perspective as well as moral sensibility that encourage engagement in efforts of bringing social changes to produce freedom and justice in the society. According to Giroux, critical pedagogy provides various theoretical tools to examine neoliberalist mindset that spreads in various dimensions of human life. This writing furtjer seeks possibility to apply the concept of critical pedagogy in Indonesian context.

Neoliberal universities embrace the logic of acceleration where the quickening of daily life for both educators and students is driven by desires for efficient forms of productivity and measurable outcomes of work. From this perspective, time is governed by expanding capacities of the digital world that speed up the pace of work while blurring the boundaries between workplace, home, and leisure. In this article, we draw from findings from qualitative interviews conducted with Canadian social work educators who teach using online-based critical pedagogy as well as recent graduates who completed their social work education in online learning programs to explore the effects of acceleration within these digitalised spaces of higher education. We view these findings alongside French philosopher Henri Bergson's concepts of duration and intuition, forms of temporality that manage to resist fixed, mechanised standards of time. We argue that the digitalisation of time produced through online education technologies can be seen as a thinning of possibilities for deeper and more critically self-reflexive knowledge production and a reduction in opportunities to build on social justice-based practices.
