Pedagogy of Freedom

The "Pedagogy of Freedom" is an educational philosophy developed by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire. It emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and dialogue in the learning process, advocating for education that fosters independence and social justice. Instead of traditional methods where teachers simply deliver knowledge, Freire encourages a partnership between teachers and students, where both learn and grow together. This approach promotes awareness of social issues and empowers individuals to challenge oppression, thus creating a more equitable society through education that values freedom and critical consciousness.
