The Banking vs Problem Posing Concept by Pablo Yanez

In his presentation, Pablo Yanez discusses two educational models - the banking concept and the problem-posing concept, as outlined by Paulo Freire in "Pedagogy of the Oppressed." He starts by describing the banking concept, which views students as passive vessels for educators to deposit knowledge into. Although this method is economically efficient and clear, it is criticized for not promoting creative thinking or individual ideas, leading to a lack of appreciation for education and insufficient teamwork skills among students. Contrastingly, Yanez explores the problem-posing concept, which promotes an interactive educational process. In this model, knowledge is co-created through dialogue and engagement between teachers and students. This approach is praised for fostering critical thinking and encouraging individual expression. However, it faces challenges like time constraints and the difficulty of providing individualized attention to all students. Yanez also includes opinions from the educational community. Esperanza Gomez, a student at Boise State University, sees the value in the banking concept, particularly in societies where education is highly valued. She suggests that in contexts like the U.S., where student investment might be lower, more engaging teaching methods like the problem-posing approach are necessary. Additionally, a Spanish professor at Boise State University emphasizes the importance of personalized attention in teaching, linking it to more effective learning and higher student engagement. Yanez concludes by stressing the importance of choosing the most appropriate teaching methods for American society, aiming to improve the educational experiences of both teachers and students.
