Critical Perspectives on Learning · CDP

According to critical pedagogy, the traditional ‘banking model’ of education is criticized because it:

  1. Encourages independent, self-directed critical thinking
  2. Promotes collaborative dialogue and problem-solving among peers
  3. Treats students as passive recipients of information
  4. Allows students to shape the curriculum
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Treats students as passive recipients of information

Freire’s banking model describes a passive approach where teachers deposit information into students. Critical pedagogy argues this limits critical thinking and agency.
