Summary with Introduction to a New Pedagogy by Freire - Chapter 1 - Exclusive
This chapter was published in Paulo Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'
Introduction
In the first chapter of "Pedagogy of the Oppressed," Freire (1970) lays the foundation for his groundbreaking educational philosophy. He challenges the traditional "banking" model of education, where teachers deposit knowledge into passive students, and argues for a critical, dialogical approach that empowers oppressed individuals to engage in their own liberation.
Key Arguments
Critique of the "banking" model:
- This model treats students as empty vessels to be filled with knowledge, fostering passivity and dependence.
- It reinforces power imbalances between educators and learners, perpetuating the oppression of marginalized groups.
- It fails
