Freirean pedagogies

Freirean pedagogies are teaching approaches based on the ideas of educator Paulo Freire, emphasizing dialogue, critical thinking, and empowerment. Instead of rote memorization, students and teachers engage in active conversations to analyze real-world issues, fostering awareness and social change. These methods encourage learners to see education as a collaborative process where everyone's voice matters, promoting critical consciousness and agency. Freire believed education should be relevant, participatory, and driven by learners' lived experiences, aiming to transform society by empowering individuals to challenge injustice and think independently.
