banking method of teaching

This paper analyzes Paulo Freire’s views of the educational system and the faults he sees in it, from Chapter 2 of his essay, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire discusses two approaches of education, banking and problem-posing education that are present in education today. Freire argues that banking education, which portrays the teacher as the narrator, detaches students from reality as they are seen as containers being filled with pre-selected contents of the narration. In this model, the…

contradicted, and rewritten countless times over the course of history. There is no one perfect method of transferring information from one human to another. There are only methods that work better than others, and methods that are not as effective. In the essay “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” that was found in the “Ways of Reading” textbook, the author reviews one of these many methods. The method reviewed was coined by Paulo Freire, who argues that the standard forms of education, “define…

Freire wrote a book about education, called Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which was first published in 1968. I recently read an excerpt from the book, and I got to learn about Freire’s view of the education, and styles of teaching. In the book he has a lot of great ideas about how teaching and education can be improved. In the first paragraph Freire focuses his attention on co-intentional education.

teacher-student contradiction in the text of “Pedagogy of the Oppressed.” This contradiction is when students are regulated by teachers. The teachers have the power over the students, which places them in a situation that limits their freedom as a whole.

Assuming that the students know nothing, Freire stated that the students are the empty banks…

A Rhetorical Analysis of “The Banking Concept of Education” The United States education system has always been criticized as being inadequate and very complex. Most importantly, our current education system has always been chastised for not letting children think for themselves. Paul Freire wrote the article “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” to inform the audience of how atrocious the United States education system really is. Most classrooms are lectured-based classrooms where the teacher…

Paulo Freire goes in depth on what he calls the Banking Concept of Education. The thesis of the Banking Concept is “The contents, whether values or empirical dimensions of reality, tend in the process of being narrated to become lifeless and petrified.” I agree with Freire because school should not be about just memorization. Education needs to be a healthy relationship between pupil and teacher. Freire goes into detail about how the students are the containers and the teachers are the…

Freire, mentions that the banking model of education works because teachers make it clear in the…
