Paper questions
Just want to get some other views before I write out this paper. Basically we had to read this essay called "The Banking Concept of Education" by Paulo Freire. Essentially it's about how the system mostly done, banking system, simply takes the information and has the students memorize it. The teacher is made to be superior to the students. The students are never taught what to do with the information.
Freire proposes a different system called the problem-posing system. In this the student and teacher are equal and both are said to be teaching and being taught. You learn from your reflection being expressed and then hearing someone else's expression and going back and forth. You learn a concept and how to use it. It's also about seeing humans as unfinished beings in an unfinished reality.
Ok here's my question for you guys... My teachers wants us to write a paper where we say what would take place in a problem-posing English class. I have all of it set out except one part.
What would you guys think is "using historicity as their starting point"?
Basically he says humans are historical creatures... this part just confuses me because I'm unsure exactly what they're wanting us to say. They also refer to other creatures as not being historical which makes me think they're not referring to memory since other creatures have memory.
Anyone have any ideas what humans being historical means?
Anyone out of the mainstream Is anyone in the mainstream? Anyone alive - with a sex drive Tear down the wall Aren't we all
The opposite of war isn't peace... It's creation
VIVA, la vie Boheme!!
