Life of Pablo Friere

Based on the demands of our educational scheme, our society is forced to con row to the aim of education that they desire us to be at. This educational distortion is beneficiary to the pedagogues ground and the focal point of governing education . We ar seen as truely objects preferably than subjects and argon fed moreover f recreates/ culture that the educator only wants us to memorize non actu entirelyy comprehend it or purge ask questions or give our opinions to precondition facts/ info. This is what makes the educator the oppressor and us the loaded. Paulo Freires Pedogogy of the Oppressed deals with the idea of oppressiveness in the school clay and suggests an alternative manner acting of education. There is an irresponsible need for students to Tear start the bulwark (Pink Floyd) of conformity in education and have a bun in the oven their individuality.Education in itself can be a contradiction. The instructor (oppressor), is there to domesticate/t separa tely the student (oppressed) scarcely is he really? As Freire indicates Narration (with the instructor as narrator) leads the students to memorize mechanically the narrated content. worse yet, it turns them into containers, receptacles to be filled by the teacher. The more(prenominal) than completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is.The more humbly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students they argon. (67). He also goes on to say Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. or else of communicating, the teacher issues communiques and makes deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat.(67), and he refers to this as the banking system where the student goes only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits.(68).This banking system order of instruction, really is not teaching the student(oppressed), only rather they are gi ven facts/information by the teacher(oppressor) that they do not fully understand, and so there really is no learning. Also the banking concept holds the student down beca expenditure he is told what to learn, and he is not captureed to buy the farm to his full capacity. It is because if this that the student lacks creativity, transformation, and knowledge in this (at best) misguided system.(68). If this type of educational method keeps on, then there exit be no change, therefore the minds will be filled with facts/information that the student will not always understand.This banking concept method of education also keeps a bar to knowledge for the student to a definite level because it doesnt give the student initiative, motivation, and crash to genuinely go protrude and want to learn. In former(a) words this isnt the way to go closely education. As Freire states This reply is not (nor can it be put in in the banking concept. On the contrary, banking education maintains and pull down stimulates the contradiction through the following attitudes and practices, which reflect oppressive society as a whole(68). They are as follows(a) the teacher teaches and the students are taught(b) the teacher knows e reallything and the students know postcode(c) the teacher thinks and the students are thought about(d) the teacher talks and the students listenmeekly(e) the teacher disciplines and the students are disciplined(f) the teacher chooses and enforces his choice, and the students comply(g) the teacher acts and the students have the gloss of acting through the action of the teacher(h) the teacher chooses the program content, and the students (who were not consulted) fit to it(i) the teacher confuses the authority of knowledge with his or her own professional authority, which she and he sets in opposition to the rationalisedom of the students.(j) the teacher is the root of the learning process, while the pupils are mere objects.(68-69).Freire suggest tha t the educational system use an alternative method of teaching. He calls this caper posing education. Freire goes on to say Those real committed to the banking concept in its entirety, adopting alternatively a concept of women and men as conscious beings, and consciousness intent upon the world. They findiness abandon the educational goal of deposit-making and supplant it with the posing of the problems of human beings in their transaction with the world.Problem-posing education, responding to the essence of consciousness-intentionality- resists communiques and embodies communication.(74). Freire suggests that the students(oppressed) must break innocent(p) from this system of things and liberate themselves and free their minds. Problem-posing is an keen way to break free from oppression in our educational system. Freire suggests that Indeed, problem-posing education, which breaks with the vertical patterns indication of education, can fulfill its function as the practice of exemption to overcome the higher up contradiction.(74).The oppressed, once free, experience their world, and as a result question it. This is where they break free from oppression and begin the journey to freedom from this restricted educational system that Freire calls banking system. Freire also mentions that Problem-posing education, as a humanitarian and liberating praxis, posits as fundamental that the people subjected to supremacy must fight for their emancipation.To that end, it encapables teachers and students to become Subjects to the educational process by overcoming authoritarianism and an alien intellectualism it also enables people to overcome their stupid perception of reality. The world-no longer something to be draw with deceptive words-becomes the object of their transforming action by men and women which results in their humanization.(79).In other words, based on the banking concept, students are told what to learn and expected to learn it. existence told wha t to learn creates a necessity to trust on an authoritative figure not only in school but also in life, and reject responsibility. This is what the oppressors want, the oppressed who rely on authority and reject responsibility because that puts everyone under some form of power, and the oppressed are then watchful for the next oppressor.The educational system necessitate problem-posing methods of teaching because it makes the student becomes a unfavourable thinker, and not only that but no longer becomes an object but rather a being who can distribute ideas with the teacher. In that fashion of education the teacher could also learn from the student and all can give different insert on a given subject. This would allow each student to break the mold and become individual thinkers who can bear witness their knowledge in different ways.boilersuit the methods used for teaching are very inadequate. Instead of telling the students what is to be memorized, the teachers should admit problem-posing techniques to get the students learning themselves. Once this teaching method can be applied, students shouldnt actually just rely on the facts/information given to them but rather go out and seek and find out for themselves the truth and reality of all things. EveryoneIs able to share their ideas and can learn from each other.I feel that Paulo Freire does an excellent lineage in making us alert of the reality of things in our educational system. I agree with the fact that we should have more of the problem-posing method of teaching, because it will not only involve us and make our ideas hear but will actually hit the ceiling our way of thinking.
