Pedagogy of the freedom and the emancipation

Book Summary by: educaweb    

Original Author: EDUCAWEB
As long as we are not able at our autonomy in order to depend on nothing and of anybody we will not be able to understand
the world with a clean vision. The word autonomy of Greek origin is composed of two terms: auto and
nomos which means organization or established law independently of any external intervention other that its own will. Autonomy is thus suitability or a clean and particular agreement with the world, apart from the foreign influences.
In education the pedagogy of autonomy is a procedure of teaching to allow learning as well as their Masters to acquire their freedom in their teaching interaction, and to surmount the institutional obstacles and the conventional practices conveyed since centuries which impose immutable knowledge, transmitted to single direction by a transmitter (the Master exclusive holder of the knowledge), towards a receiver (the constrained pupil with the passivity).
In full reform of the education systems which precisely privilege the autonomy of the teaching act, there still exist teachers which are complaining in their role of reproductive transmitter of an obsolete knowledge, in an antiquated way, according to preset standards'. The two actors (Master and learning) remain plastered and fixed in this sterile practice. On the other hand, the daring teachers who well assimilated the pedagogy of autonomy are able to nourish the dreams of educated and to prepare them to deal with themselves and to integrate the active life with optimism and enthusiasm. The renewal of the history, the social growth and the destruction of the systems of oppression are logical results of this pedagogy liberator. Educate for autonomy creates a subterfuge which allows the override of the vicious circle which makes that in each oppressor it oppressed there one which himself, as a not declared revenge, becomes oppressor. This guarantees the maintenance of a statute of being able and arbitrary authority.
The pedagogy of autonomy is a true combat against the reproduction of oppressed oppressors, to guarantee the formation of a generation impregnated by the values of the personal and collective freedom, therefore able to build a leveling company, where each citizen has the right to live there in all dignity.
To conclude I would propose a definition of the pedagogy of the autonomy which is not other than the formation for the life with the control of competences, knowledge to make and knowledge to be which permit for each young to build his future in all self-assurance, and to adapt to all the situations, even those most unforeseeable thanks to the gained and accumulated experiences which make that even the failures are springboards towards success.
