Life of Pablo Friere

Based on the demands of our genteelnessal system, our party is forced to conform to the take of education that they destiny us to be at. This educational distortion is beneficiary to the educators realm and the way of governing education . We argon seen as merely objects rather than subjects and ar fed only facts/ culture that the educator only wants us to memorize non real comprehend it or even ask questions or give our opinions to minded(p) facts/ tuition. This is what makes the educator the oppressor and us the oppressed. Paulo Freires Pedogogy of the Oppressed deals with the concept of oppression in the indoctrinate system and suggests an preference method of education. There is an absolute need for school-age childs to divide down the wall (Pink Floyd) of conformity in education and express their individuality. training in itself displace be a contradiction. The instructor (oppressor), is there to naturalise/teach the school-age child (oppressed) besides is he sincerely? As Freire indicates thread (with the teacher as narrator) leads the students to memorize mechanically the narrated content. Worse yet, it turns them into containers, receptacles to be make full by the teacher. The to a greater extent completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is.The more meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students they are. (67). He similarly goes on to say Education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor. Instead 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 method of train, real is not teaching the student(oppressed), but rather they are given facts/information by the teacher(oppressor) tha t they do not fully understand, and so there really is no learning. Also the banking concept holds the student down because he is told what to learn, and he is not allowed to work to his full capacity. It is because if this that the student lacks creativity, transformation, and knowledge in this (at best) ill-conceived system.(68). If this type of educational method keeps on, then there go out 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 restraint to knowledge for the student to a certain level because it doesnt give the student initiative, motivation, and drive to actually go out and want to learn. In other words this isnt the way to go about education. As Freire states This solution is not (nor sack it be found in the banking concept. On the contrary, banking education maintains and even stimulates the contradiction through the following attitudes and prac tices, which mirror heavy society as a whole(68). They are as follows(a) the teacher teaches and the students are taught(b) the teacher knows everything and the students know nothing(c) the teacher thinks and the students are fancy 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 illusion of performing through the action of the teacher(h) the teacher chooses the program content, and the students (who were not consulted) line up to it(i) the teacher confuses the endorsement of knowledge with his or her own professional authority, which she and he sets in opposition to the liberty of the students.(j) the teacher is the Subject of the learning process, spot the pupils are mere objects.(68-69).Freire suggest that the educational system use an alternative method of teaching. He calls this problem po sing education. Freire goes on to say Those in truth committed to the banking concept in its entirety, adopting instead a concept of wowork force and men as conscious beings, and consciousness intent upon the world. They must abandon the educational goal of deposit-making and replace it with the posing of the problems of human beings in their relations with the world.Problem-posing education, responding to the fragrance of consciousness-intentionality-rejects communiques and embodies communication.(74). Freire suggests that the students(oppressed) must break free from this system of things and liberate themselves and free their minds. Problem-posing is an first-class way to break free from oppression in our educational system. Freire suggests that Indeed, problem-posing education, which breaks with the upright patterns characteristic of education, can fulfill its function as the practice of immunity to overcome the above contradiction.(74).The oppressed, once free, experience th eir world, and as a emergence 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 humanist and liberating praxis, posits as fundamental that the people subjected to domination must stir for their emancipation.To that end, it enables teachers and students to become Subjects to the educational process by overcoming authoritarianism and an alienating intellectualism it also enables people to overcome their false perception of reality. The world-no longer something to be exposit 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 anticipate to learn it. Being told what to learn creates a necessity to rely on an authoritative figure not only in school but also i n 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 prepared for the next oppressor.The educational system needs problem-posing methods of teaching because it makes the student becomes a critical thinker, and not only that but no longer becomes an object but rather a being who can share ideas with the teacher. In that fashion of education the teacher could also learn from the student and all can give distinct input on a given subject. This would allow each student to break the define and become individual thinkers who can express their knowledge in different ways.Overall the methods used for teaching are very inadequate. Instead of tattle the students what is to be memorized, the teachers should apply problem-posing techniques to get the students learning themselves. Once this teaching method can be applied, students should nt actually just rely on the facts/information given to them but rather go out and seek and take place 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 job in making us aware 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 heard but will actually expand our way of thinking.
