Assignment 2b

Definition of "Interdisciplinary Studies"

"Interdisciplinary studies" is an academic program or process seeking to synthesize broad perspectives, knowledge, skills, interconnections, and epistemology in an educational setting. Interdisciplinary programs may be founded in order to facilitate the study of subjects which have some coherence, but which cannot be adequately understood from a single disciplinary perspective.

Cool fact

Something I did not know about Latin America is that according to Wikipedia Latin America includes not only all Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, but also the current and former French territories in the hemisphere, including Quebec in Canada; Louisiana in the United States!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America

I cited all of my sources used above. I believe this is all very reliable information because I chose very reputable websites such as Wikipedia, and the Latin American Information Center.

What do you notice in general.

In general what I noticed is most of my classmates that are taking this class are doing so to fulfill a requirement towards their general education. I also noticed that most of us chose this particular course to fulfill that requirement because we thought it would be interesting.

Choose any two classmates and tell us what you have in common with that classmate

I have noticed that I have the same outlook as Katy she says "it is all about school and her family" and I completely agree with her!

AND

Dana and I are both married with three beautiful children at home!

Assignment 1c

Who I have learned from:

I have learned from Jade.

She has always been interested in Humanitiesand is taking this class to fulfill her requirements towards her A.A.
1.In 1946, Freire became the director of the Pernambuco Dept. Of Education and culture of SESI ( The Social Service of Industry)
2.There are many Paulo Freire Institutes around the world but the first was established in 1991 in Sao Paulo.

I have also learned from Adina.

She is taking this class for the same reason as I am. She needed an online class and this was one of the few she had to choose from. However, we are both excited to learn something new.

1.In 1962, Paulo became the director of an adult literacy program, in which he taught 300 adults to read and write in 45 days.

2.As the result of a military overthrow in 1964, Paulo spent five years in jail, later being exiled to Bolivia, and eventually Chile.

Assignment 1b

Until now I had never heard of Paulo Friere. He was a very interesting man. I admire many of his beliefs on education. Particularly how he views teachers and students as a relationship with respect.

Paulo Friere was a Brazilian Educationalist who wrote a book called "Pedagogy of the Oppressed". He was born in 1921 to a middle class family and he lived thru the deppression and became very familiar with poverty and hunger.His Book is currently one of the most quoted books. He had many theoretical innovations which has had a huge impact on the development of education.

He believes that education should be "informal" or "dialogical". He believes in "the essence of education as the practice of freedom". In other words, it is more than the teacher giving a lecture and the student learning from that. He believes that the students and teachers form a relationship and learn to respect one another in order to learn from each other. He feels that it should not involve one person acting on another. Instead, people should work with each other. Learning involves mutual respect and cooperation in order to flurish.

He also rejected the "banking" theory. This theory says that students are like an empty bank and it is the teachers job to fill their accounts. He does not agree with this. He believes that this theory dehumanizes both the teachers and the students. Instead, he believes in the "authentic" approach which is people are incomplete and must be aware of their own incompleteness. Then they may thrive to find their completeness.
