Friere and co-constructive inquiry

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Mon, 11/15/2010 - 5:07pm.

Very rich session, one that for me brought out lots of parallels between Freiere's thought and our earlier discussion of the brains three loops: ingenuous curiosity (loop 1, non-reflective learning), epistemological curiosity (loop 2, reflective, story based), "developing the person," as opposed to "forming the person" (loop 3, interpersonal/cultural). 

Rich as well for the exercise in making text the basis for co-constructive inquiry.  Was a little worried during the first of the two sessions that conversation was being allowed to drift a bit, thought things focused nicely in second.  Worth thinking more about.   Other feelings?
