商品簡介
As a child, Souto-Manning's (early childhood education, Columbia U.) problem-posing approach to learning was shaped by her schooling at Paulo Freire's (1921-1997) progressive, liberatory school in Recife, Brazil. She has lived Freire's concept of critical pedagogy as an educator in Brazil and, following her immigration, has continued to employ it as a teacher educator in the US. After explaining the concepts of culture circles and critical pedagogy, she provides teachers and teacher educators with in-depth descriptions of her successful application of Freirean culture circles in several contexts including an American first-grade classroom, a Brazilian adult education program, a pre-service early childhood teacher education program at an American university, an in-service teacher education program at a university-affiliated preschool in the US, and utilizing Boalian theater--the performative version of the Freierian concepts developed by Freire's colleague, Augusto Boal (1931-2009)--in a teacher education workshop in the US.
