Paulo Freire: from denunciation of a banking education to the announcement of a liberating pedagogy

Abstract

In this paper, we aim to identify the meaning of the denunciation in the banking education, idealized by Paulo Freire, as well as to point out the implications of a liberating education for the the education of educators. First, the article discusses the denunciation of banking education, as it appears in his work entitled Pedagogy of the Oppressed (2005) and also in his books Pedagogy of Indignation (2000) and Education and Actuality Brazilian (2003). Secondly, this paper discusses the announcement of a liberating pedagogy idealized by Paulo Freire: problematization and critical consciousness, based on theoretical arguments of Paulo Freire, approached in Awareness (2001b), Cultural Action for Freedom (2002a) and Education as the Practice of Freedom (2009). Using hermeneutic as a research methodology, we showthat, when Freire makes the announcement of a liberating pedagogy, he is not only proposing another possible reality, but also he is making the denunciation of an oppressing education, seen as a denial of the body in the pedagogical practice. Finally, a liberating education only will become effective when the oppressed educator-educating become aware, recognizing that the oppressor is been hosted into your own body. They will be free, therefore, from the praxis and their self-humanization and others.

Keywords:
banking education; denial of body; liberating pedagogy; educators education.
