good morning
-
ok I feel the vaccines kicking in I think
going to try to stay up until my normal bedtime but there's a very good chance I go to bed early
-
read a bit more of Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which mostly concerns itself with attacking mainstream education techniques, which it refers to in my translation as "banking education" in that knowledge is transferred from its owner, the teacher, into the student through techniques like memorization. pretty common thing people rail about.
but the way it ties it to a view of the world as objects separate from people is definitely an interesting suggestion of why banking education is that way.
-
I are serious cat. This is serious thread.
-
a little one from the vaults there for you
-
anyway, I'm really getting eager by the ideas especially because then I think of that in relation to games
in particular, the proposed cure to banking education is "problem-solving education" which I suppose will be more described in the rest of the chapter. it's really meant to break that teacher-student hierarchy and focus on dialogue where the participants, the "teacher-student" and the "student-teacher" share in learning and teaching
-
there's also the idea that I think really hits at my distrust of calls to focus only on the present: that we must understand ourselves as a present with a past that has determined it and a future which it can effect
-
heck yeah, ya girl used "effect" as a verb with its original sense of to bring into effect which is, like, technically different from "affect", to influence
but whatever words are made up, chaaaat
-
trying that as a version of "maaaan" or "dude" to mimick the stereotypical hippie
-
ok bed
and I think I'll turn off my alarm
