Opis

The Student Guide to Freire's 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' serves as an important companion to Freire's seminal work, providing powerful insights into both a philosophically sound and politically inspired understanding of Freire's book, supporting application of his pedagogy in enacting emancipatory educational programs in the world today.Antonia Darder closely examines Freire's ideas as they are articulated in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, beginning with a historical discussion of Freire's life and works and a discussion of the central philosophical tenets that informed his ideas in the book. She engages and explores Freire's fundamental themes and ideas, including the issue of prescription, the teacher/students relationship, reflection, dialogue, praxis, and his larger emancipatory vision. Questions are included throughout Chapter 3, Reading the Text Chapter-by-Chapter, to enable greater discussion of, and engagement with, the text itself. The bibliography offers invaluable support to those looking to read and study other works by Paulo Freire.
