The topic for our discussion group this week was humanism. More specifically humanism in the banking concept masks humans turning into automatons. This concept suggests that we as students are supposed to take in everything that the teacher teaches and then be able to have all of the answers to the teachers question when asked. This leaves the students with little room to be creative. Our group felt that although it is important to study and memorize what is being taught to us in class; we also feel that the students should not be treated like robots. This takes away the students freedom to learn the way which best suits them. Another subtopic that our group hit on was the need for teachers to aid in students learning instead of simply providing the material. If the teacher would aid in students learning than it could definitely have positive effects on their grades, their class participation, and simply their confidence in the classroom. If teachers could follow some these tips then their students would feel significantly more confident in class and in themselves.
