influence on the student and the society. The liberation teaching style, the narrative technique, and the banking style of teaching. As the title suggests, there are two educational styles directed to the oppressed and the oppressor. These are; the banking and the narrative educational style. Paulo Freire in a very persuasive way argues, the only way to transform people 's lives as a teacher is the use of the liberation approach where students are giving the freedom to express themselves and communicate

In Paulo Freire’s article, “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education,” he discusses how there is an absence of imagination and critical thinking in the “banking” method of education. Paulo Freire contends that the “banking” method of instruction is not a viable strategy to educate students. In the film, Dead Poets Society, directed by Peter Weir, Mr. Keating, an English professor in the film, liberates the student 's mind by making them confront the issues exhibited to them.

Douglass’ narrative, a theme that he addresses is the only way to be free is through education. When Douglass moved to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, he gained understanding on the “pathway from slavery to freedom”. He realized that the reason the white man could enslave black men was through depriving them of an education and understanding of the world. Douglass recounts that when Mr. Auld found that Mrs. Auld was teaching Douglass how to read, Mr. Auld said that, “Learning would spoil the best n-----

American slave, searches for liberation against the shackles of slavery through education; as told in Frederick Douglass’ Narrative in a Life of Frederick Douglass. The paradox of the theme of education is shown as it poses as both, the key to freedom, and the death of ignorance. As Douglass grasps the true sentiment in the importance of knowledge, he is set free from a life of benightedness. At a young age, Douglass learns he must pursue knowledge and education to emancipate himself from slavery

In the essay “The Banking Concept of Education,” Paulo Freire Explains his view of the educational system. His essay is primarily based on two types of educational methods, which are the “banking education” and the “problem-posing education”. Banking education resists the communication between the student and the teacher, and it does not encourage critical thinking. Problem-posing education gives the students liberation to dialogue and encourages critical thinking. In this essay, I will explain why

The Private Liberation Paulo Freire introduces the idea of a “problem-posing” education system in his book The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which offers a highly effective alternative to the traditional method of memorizing facts that he deems the “banking” concept of education. Problem posing allows individuals to expand their own thoughts, ideas, and opinions through open discussion in a classroom setting. I went through such an experience senior year in my Comparative Government class, which focused

After high school she received her bachelor’s degree from stanford university and her master’s degree from UC Santa Cruz. She experienced racial and sexual discrimination throughout her life, and when she was in college, Bell Hooks was exposed to the women’s liberation movement; a feminist movement from the 1970’s that fought

Engaged pedagogy focused on rethinking teaching practices and “is more demanding than conventional critical or feminist pedagogy” (15) meaning there is no one correct strategy to teach a class because freedom in learning build students’ interests in the subject differently and focus on the welfare of pupils. I would like to add that engaged pedagogy is the framework of teaching to stimulate learners how to participate in collaborative learning and acquire critical consciousness. Collaboration in

younger generation are more eager and demanding than the previous generation, they don’t want uniform healing/teaching or unknown spirit and want meaningful knowledge. If I were in my student’s shoes as a learner, I would demand the same thing and with my needs and opinions are valued and acknowledged by my teachers, I would be more engaging in learning and encourage to make the best out my education. I also have the high opinion about the ‘give and take relationship’ within critical pedagogy, as through
