Chapter 2, Pedagogy of the
Oppressed
EDCI
6303
11-29-2004
Ch 2 from Pedagogy of the Oppressed
- how you would briefly describe "teacher as narrator?"
- why is the teacher as narrator an oppressor
Teacher as narrator
- if student doesn't have to react or think critically, the teacher is serving as a narrator
- banking model of education
- inherent in word narrator: one who narrator is constantly spewing out
-- the narrator is at the center of the narration / the story
-- as the narrator they are maintaining hierarchial relationships and positions of power, the center of curriculum
-- not engaging students with the context
-- could still be meaning involved for the student, but it would not be active for the student
my ideas
- narrator supports passive education; does not support active learning
- "For apart from inquiry, apart from praxis, individuals cannot be truly human. Knowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention." -Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, p. 72
teacher as narrator is a broadcast modality for instruction
answer to question 2:
- teacher as narrator has her freedom taken away to create
teacher as narrator or banker ideal is to be the charistmatic storyteller
- not using the student's history
- we are losing the rich experience of the student
- learning is coming from the narrator/banker's point of view
Jacque's response to the idea/discussion that the left is considered invalid today, where is the model on a braoder level for economic alternative to consumeristic capitalism:
- our role as educators is merely to teach others to think, and to think critically
- bring spontaneous knowledge into formal/curriculuar knowledge
Doug: we should be reflective practioners despite our environmental influences, always striving to be liberating educators
sometimes we emphasize autonomy and independence for students, but we also we need to emphasize this for teachers
having classroom structure can be oppressive under certain conditions
Next week: Read Educational for Critical Consciousness: pp. 3-20
