“This is a Battle‚ a War” In his essay “The ‘Banking’ concept of Education”‚ Freire introduced the readers two methods of teaching‚ that are “banking education” and “problem-posing education”. A “banking educator” makes the students mechanically memorize the information he or she unloads on them just like depositing in a bank‚ while a “problem-posing educator” inspires the students to be critical and aims for the liberation of society. In the movie “Dead Poet Society”‚ Keating would for

Part 1: After reading about the “Banking Concept of Education‚” as described by Paulo Freire‚ I have come to the conclusion that if you really want to go knee deep into a topic‚ you cannot have the information “deposited” into you by your teacher. Freire talked an excessive amount about questioning‚ critical thinking and consideration of information when talking about forms of learning that do not include the banking concept. This did make sense because when taking in facts that you know you are

“This is the ‘banking’ concept of education‚ in which the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving‚ filing‚ and storing the deposits” (244). Because of my “special” moment‚ a moment of humility that has haunted me through my educational career‚ school became an institution where I would go to memorize information but never really understood what I was being “taught”. I became a receptacle‚ a depository‚ and my teachers became the depositors. Education became a process

106 What does it mean to be educated? Education has become an important part of everyday life as means to teach knowledge and get students for their life after school out in the “Real world”. And yet‚ a question that has brought a ton of controversy is “what does it mean to be Educated and who decides”.

“The “Banking” Concept of Education”: Destructive or Convstructive? After reading Paulo Friere’s essay‚ “The “Banking” Concept of Education‚” I have personally come to understand that his argument ultimately states that modern education is the chance for teacher or professors to “deposit” their knowledge into their students who submissively accept what they are taught without question. Freire believes that there is no shared knowledge between teacher and student; the path to knowledge is a one-way

Let me first state that the kind of Christianity Paulo Freire says he believes in‚ is Catholicism. The Catholic Church tends to have beliefs that are not completely true to the Word of God because they take some scripture out of context. I do not claim to be of any certain

"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself." -Gallileo Galilei (1564-1642) The Audacity of Hope: The Banking Concept of Education In Freire’s essay‚ The Banking Concept of Education‚ he advances the idea that the inherent objective of the "banking concept" is to educate the poor and illiterate to remain "oppressed"; he implies that this is accomplished in part by "narrative" teaching methods‚ and the lack of critical thinking required of the students

"The Banking Concept of Education" In Freire’s "The Banking Concept of Education" he discusses how education is an act of depositing information into student’s minds. It is a process where students receive‚ memorize‚ and repeat information. This type of system takes away from creativity‚ transformation‚ and knowledge in a person. The banking concept allows for educators to oppress and dominate their students. The more students store the deposits of information‚ the less they develop the critical

Freire’s "The Banking Concept of Education" We’ve all been students at some point in our lives‚ but how we are taught as students varies on the teacher and the technique. In the "Banking Concept of Education" it is stated that knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing‚ it also suggests that the thought of teachers teach and students are taught is old and outdated. I agree with Freire’s "Banking Concept of Education" in that
