Google Classroom as a Reflection of Transformative and Authentic Pedagogy

One widely used e-learning technology today is Google Classroom, which integrates teaching, learning, and collaboration in an online space. It reflects elements of authentic and transformative pedagogy because it supports interactive, student-centered learning. Through digital discussions, project submissions, and peer feedback, students are encouraged to engage actively and think critically rather than passively receive information.

Google Classroom also fosters reflexivity, as learners can revisit their submitted work, review teacher comments, and reflect on how to improve future outputs. The flexibility of the platform allows for differentiated instruction, enabling teachers to personalize learning experiences and students to take more ownership of their progress.

While it retains some didactic aspects — such as teacher-led announcements and structured modules — its true strength lies in promoting collaboration, self-assessment, and deeper understanding, aligning it closely with the goals of transformative pedagogy.
