Having studied at the University of Recife, and teaching at Harvard University, Paulo Freire’s credentials are outstanding, proving more than capable in this subject matter. Paulo Freire was a twentieth-century educator and philosopher who advocated critical pedagogy. Critical pedagogy is basically going against traditional schooling and views learning to be best implemented by experience. Further, critical pedagogy advocated a new, albeit good, relationship with fellow students and the teacher, rather than seeing the teacher as “authority”. Critical pedagogy references and possesses many themes regarding oppression, society, authority, rebellion, and deceit. It (and Paulo) view traditional schooling has oppressive to society. The source, “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education”, discusses how traditional education is like banking; the depositor (teacher) deposits knowledge or information to the bank (students). It also talks of how this way of education doesn’t actually help because students are memorizing, not “experiencing”. Though different, this article could be relatable to many of those not satisfied with the education system in our country today, particularly those who push for education reform. The source offers excellent analysis of the traditional schooling system and its faults while explaining how critical pedagogy would be more effective and in Paulo’s eyes, morally and socially correct.
