Question

"the student should realise that he belongs to the learning space as human being and not as a non-human entity with an empty brain, which needs to be filled with unquestionable knowledge given by some teacher, lecturer or professor "

1. explain how this extract links to the metaphor of bank in "banking education "
2. explain "praxis" in the context of the above extract

Answer 1

This statement critiques the concept of Banking Education, which sees students as empty vessels that teachers should transfer knowledge into. Rather, this view supports the concept of Praxis in that a student’s realizing of oneself as a human being who willfully fits into the learning space encourages being participative and engaged in learning ideas and putting them into practice.
