"banking education” and “problem- posing education"

A recent Flosse Posse post had the following quote

Brazilian educator Paulo Freire made a difference between “banking education” and “problem- posing education”. In the first someone is trying to tell people what they should do and how, when the later one is asking people to define problems in their everyday life and join with other people to solve them. Problem-posing education does not only require dialogue among the people, but teaching of each other, co- investigation and joint responsibility of the process.

I find this attractive. My sense of an ideal world is being aroused and noticed that after reading it I looked away and up trying to picture how this could work. I wonder how we could make this happen?

User/Student control

This blog post is about user control in the sense of software programming. Read the post and where the word 'user' is used, replace it with the word 'student'. What do you think????

A good discussion about Featuritis as it is a term I had not heard of before and is used in the discussion about user control.
