Topic: Student power. It\u2019s easy to see the role of the teacher as an oppressor in Freire\u2019s analysis of education and to recognize the ways in which teachers must change those oppressive behaviors. But Freire argues fairly directly that teachers can\u2019t produce student learning or student freedom. On page 6, Freire says \u201cpeople subjected to domination must fight for their emancipation,\u201d suggesting that progress\u2013where it occurs\u2013is going to result from student power, not professors changing their actions. Use your understanding of Freire\u2019s ideas to analyze the role of student power at WCU, identifying and proposing ways in which students can achieve their own emancipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thesis (working): In Paul Freire\u2019s, \u201cThe \u2018Banking\u2019 Concept of Education\u201d he clearly points that in all circumstance\u2019s teachers are like oppressors and students are the ones oppressed. In society, there\u2019s a common misconception that teachers are responsible for a student\u2019s success in a classroom. At West Chester University students can learn from each other through connection their knowledge with reality and learning from themselves by not directly teaching themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this process, arguments based on \u201cauthority\u201d are no longer valid; in order to function, the authority must be on the side of freedom, not against it. Here, no one teaches another, nor is anyone self-taught. People teach each other, mediated by the world, by the cognizable objects which in banking education are \u201cowned\u201d by the teacher.\u201d Page 4 pr 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose truly committed to liberation\nmust reject the banking concept in its entirety, adopting instead a concept of\nwomen and men as conscious beings, and consciousness as consciousness intent\nupon the world. They must abandon the educational goal of deposit-making and\nreplace it with the posing of the problems of human beings in their relations\nwith the world.\u201d Page 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLiberating education\nconsists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information. It is a\nlearning situation in which the cognizable object (far from being the end of the\ncognitive act) intermediates the cognitive actors\u2014teacher on the one hand and\nstudents on the other.\u201d (P.4)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
