His explanation of the teacher student relationship reveals the readers assumption of his subject matter. ` In Friere’s first dichotomy of education the teacher lectures, “…about reality as if it were motionless, static, compartmentalized, and predictable” which in turn loses the interest of the student. In doing this, the teacher is doing nothing for the student, but engaging in what Friere calls “the banking concept of education”. The banking concept involves direct lecture of the teacher on any topic, going over each aspect expecting the student to simply memorize rather than understand what they are learning. Thus, the teacher is making a “deposit” into the “bank” or mind of the student where the information sits accordingly.
It is the schools responsibility to be able to provide good enough teachers, who can prepare these students. In order to have a good education, there must be qualified teachers there to teach and prepare students effectively. Bauerlein questions schools curriculums and the way they are presenting “complex texts” (Bauerlein) to the students; “The more high school teachers place complex texts on the syllabus and concoct slow, deliberate reading exercises for students to complete, the more they will inculcate the habit” (Bauerlein). Students learn what their teachers tell them they have to learn, without knowing the effects the teachings will have on them whether good or bad. That is why schools providing qualified teachers are so important
Middle-class schools focused around finding and then explaining how something was right. Teachers taught from the book and avoided answers to questions that weren’t in the book. Affluent Professional school was hands on. Students were able to ask questions to express their
The teacher was told that the object of the experiment was to study the effects of punishment on learning. They are also told that their role in the experiment was to read word lists to the learner and the learner must remember the second word from a list of word pairs they had read earlier. If the learner got the answer wrong, then the teacher was told to administer shocks, for each answer that the learner got wrong, and the shocks had to increase in intensity. The teacher is unaware of the fact that the learner is actually an actor, and receives no shock. The experiments, involving the Undergrad students from Yale, resulted in 60
Some may think that learning is solely associated with school and or specific training regimens. Some people say they hate learning new things yet they know how to use all the latest technical devices. Even the defiant teenager who refuses to cooperate in class or participate in the discussion is learning. He or she is testing the instructor. If the instructor reacts by yelling or attempting to force the student, he or she is learning they can gain attention or control of the classroom through their behavior.
Literature review showed that gender discrimination is still prevalent within nursing profession. Nursing faculty should prepare male nursing students to interact effectively with female clients as well. Role modeling the therapeutic relationship with clients is one strategy that may help male students. In general, the faculty should provide equal learning opportunities to nursing students.

The opposite learning styles, involving listening and verbal skills, are more difficult for me. I would much rather learn how something works by using it than by listening to someone tell me how it works. When any of my teachers stand in front of the classroom and just reads form the text book. This type of teaching is my kryptonite, the words just pass right through me. To help me my learning process in class's like that i need to recreate the lectured material using my own visual tools and adapt my teacher's preferred teaching methods to my preferred learning styles.
Freire believes that this concept of education is suited for oppressors, to have the overwhelming control in aiming the student to adapt to this doctrine. He opposes to this educational system and one can understand it diminishes the divergent thinking of the student. This creative, authentic thinking, that seeks to talk and communicate inside the reality being faced, is oppressed by the teachers when using only narrative, predictable, motionless and static teaching and making the students rely only on what’s being taught and deposited into their minds instead of making it interactive and discussions based class. The student loses the ability on feeding and/or expanding their critical thinking in the conscious mind; this term is called the critical
Damon uses many real life examples of students, teachers, business professionals and the general public to strengthen his pathos appeal. Damon recognizes that there is a strong emphasis placed on teaching morals including honesty in today’s children, from a very young age. He encompasses emotion in the essay by implying that dishonesty is not largely focused on as a building block of self-integrity. This implication allows the reader to have mixed emotions such as pity, distress and hurt. Damon is very careful to not show his true emotion towards the subject, rather he clearly displays the facts in such a way that the reader develops their own emotional response.
Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
