I'm writing from Argentina.
I am University's professor and I have a MSE. Sorry about my CV, but I only want let you to know that I have studied a lot about Freire, critical Pedagogy, constructivism and the CR.
As I can thought, it is impossible to mix or to have any point of common view between all these educational theories and SD because they have opposite philosophical point of departure.
SD is based on freedom and although we can say that we are "prisioners of the system" we ever have the chance to change our behaviour and make a new scenary, according our decissions and as free person.
Freire, Braslavsky (in my country), Jackson (in the EEUU), Fenstermacher, etc, have the idea that the teacher and the pupil are prisioners of an hegelian system, which is impossible to change because the history is already write from the revolution or something like this.
I think that we must do a diference between a tecnical way to learn (as "cartillas" from Freire, or constructivism method) and the philosophical bases of SD and all the CR.
