Problem-Posing Education
13. •Two-way learning
•Treats dialogue as a vital ingredient
to successful education
•Students become critical thinkers
•Emphasizes creativity, inquiry,
invention, and transformation
•Encourages action upon reality
Examples of Partha, Imran and Pooja
14. In problem-posing education,
students develop their power to
perceive critically the way they exist
in the world with which and in which
they find themselves; they come to
see the world not as a static reality,
but as a reality in process, in
transformation.
Example Tribal Discrimination
26. The teacher is no longer
merely the-one-who-teaches,
but one who is himself taught
in dialogue with the students,
who in turn while being
taught also teach. They
become jointly responsible for
a process in which all grow.
27. Social Science gives us a
wonderful opportunity of
communion with the young
generation to uncover the
secrets of life.
