Three theorists are often included when considering learning due to "changes in consciousness": |
Jack Mezirow | Paulo Freire | Myles Horton
Learning is not additive or "banking"--just gaining new information
Education is for transformation and change
All focus is on the inner meaning & personal constructs of knowledge
Praxis or application of critical reflection, either personally, socially or politically, results from new insights
Individual vs. Social--After change in consciousness, where does Praxis necessarily happen?
Democracy vs. Radicalism? What place does politics play? What happens to the status quo?
The nature of change: challenge or adaptation?
What impact do cultural, historical and socioeconomic differences make in transformation?
More empirical data needed!
