Critically intervene with the facts

Hello everyone,

What does "critically intervene with the facts" mean in the following sentence:

Does it mean "taking a critical point of view toward facts"?

At frst, in every aspect of education, thus also in environmental education, critical pedagogy refuses the ‘banking approach to knowledge’ (Freire, 2018). Under this view, the students do not simply learn about the framework of the environmental justice struggle going on in their land, but they do critically intervene with the facts, striving to attain their own views on the issues being posed.

In very simple terms it means to state facts as a means of arguing their point.

(The writing style makes it difficult to understand what quite a bit of this passage means.)
