Pablo Friere's Changing the System
Pablo Friere has very strong criticism to how our normal education is carried out. He believes that education mirrors a plutocracy state where the teacher is the master and the students the lower class or has he states "peasants". He would take out rote memorization as a whole in order to incorporate "natural" learning or learning outside books and charts but in real time. This would place students as a whole as active participants in the learning process making them apart of it and not just spectators for learning. No more classrooms, chalkboards, or administration just pure learning bliss in open fields are in the natural environment of the subject. Instead of a student reading about physics in a classroom he would be take the students out in the world and show them how inertia works not just the formula for it. This would make the students active in their learning process which would benefit them to picking up not only knowledge of the event but actual experience on the topic.

Yeah that would be a big change that's for sure
ReplyDeleteWow no classrooms? That sounds pretty good to me! It would keep me from getting bored. Everyone likes a hands on demonstration!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah hands on, no more book work.
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly be more engaging work. I know that personally it was the labs in the classes that caught my attention and I still remember things about all these years later. Where there are still those subjects that this would be impractical, for any that can benefit from this sort of thing I agree with him that we should try to fully implement.
