This article, as its title suggests, introduces some reflections about the importance critical pedagogy and awareness-raising practices have in education today, specially in teacher preparation programs, and how they open a new opportunity for pre-service and in-service teachers to re-think our pedagogical practices. Critical pedagogy as a new trend in education helps teachers achieve a better understanding of what teaching really entails and raising awareness fosters reflection regarding our daily practices at educational settings, and explores on the one hand, what pre-service teachers think and perceive about teaching in the context they are involved in, and on the other hand, how those perceptions may influence their teaching.
