More quotes by Paulo Freire
The role of the educator is one of tranquil possession of certitude in regard to the teaching of not only contents but also of 'correct thinking.'
Paulo Freire
The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
Paulo Freire
Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
Paulo Freire
In order for the oppressed to unite they must first cut the umbilical cord of magic and myth which binds them to the world of oppression the unity which links them to each other must be of a different nature.
Paulo Freire
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
Teachers who do not take their own education seriously, who do not study, who make little effort to keep abreast of events have no moral authority to coordinate the activities of the classroom.
Paulo Freire
There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
Implicit in the banking concept is the assumption of a dichotomy between human beings and the world: a person is merely in the world, not with the world or with others the individual is spectator, not re-creator.
Paulo Freire
Liberation is a praxis: the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it.
Paulo Freire
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing... The teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite by considering their ignorance absolute, he justifies his own existence.
Paulo Freire
Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with students-teachers.
Paulo Freire
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?
Paulo Freire
Education is suffering from narration sickness.
Paulo Freire
some may think that to affirm dialogue—the encounter of women and men in the world in order to transform the world—is naively and subjectively idealistic. there is nothing, however, more real or concrete than people in the world and with the world, than humans with other humans.
Paulo Freire
One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding.
Paulo Freire
At times, I have been criticized by some philosophers of education, who place me in postures that they classify pejoratively as 'revolutionary.' But I have had the satisfaction of being invited to work in societies making progressive efforts without wavering. They were changing, and so they called on me.
Paulo Freire
Within the word we find two dimensions-reflection and action. If one is sacrificed even in part, the other immediately suffers. To speak a true word is to transform the world.
Paulo Freire
The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.
Paulo Freire
For cultural invasion to succeed, it is essential that those invaded become convinced of their intrinsic inferiority.
Paulo Freire
To simply think about the people, as the dominators do, without any self-giving in that thought, to fail to think with the people, is a sure way to cease being revolutionary leaders.
