The schools of critical pedagogy can be divided into the Anglo-American school with innovative style and the German school with conservative style. It came into being in 1970s and is considered as the most dynamic competitor in the field of education. Critical pedagogy has made pioneering research in the fields of educational theory, curriculum and educational management, and scholars have also combed its thoughts from the above perspectives. This paper examines critical pedagogy from the perspective of methodology, which is a new research perspective. The schools of critical pedagogy are complex. Based on different ideological foundations and social backgrounds, different schools have different characteristics. However, different schools pursue criticism and "liberation" of traditional education, emphasizing the use of critical theory and conducting educational research and analysis through critical research methods, which is the common feature of critical pedagogy of all schools. In a sense, the criticism of critical pedagogy is a position, an attitude, a rational pursuit and a methodology.
