PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED Influenced by ideas of Karl Marx “Oppressor” vs. “Oppressed” Freedom is a result of
informed action Traditional pedagogy is a
“Banking System”, but learners should be treated as co-creators ofknowledge
Banking System results in dehumanization
CRITIQUES Argues in an either/or way –
With the Oppressed or against them Approach took place in formal and
structured educational settingsThis can work against his desire for dialogue
