A Freirean Approach to Lifelong Learning By Kelli and Michelle Career Education as Humanization Article 11 Review EDER 625 Module 2

Historical Background Lifelong learning has been explored over time by many scientists, scholars, and philosophers and has been viewed as a journey towards continued intellectual, social,and emotional development. Plato Aristotle Dewey -an “arduous” journey -a move toward increased epistemic and moral enlightenment -provides for “eudaimonia”, or lasting human happiness -the main objective of education is the creation of “psychological dispositions” that encourage continual and critical learning

The Neo-liberal view Narrow, undemocratic, dehumanizing

The Freirean View Education is a lifelong journey. Education is a political “enterprise”. Students are political participants, actively involved in shaping their lives (socially and politically). Freire encourages students and teachers to play an active role in shaping (and reshaping) the world around them. Humans are creators and re-creators of their experiences.

Employability The authors argue that in the 21st century, workers need to be lifelong learners. This in turn, will require the continual upgrading of skills. Workers are likely to engage in a seamless process of education, training, and work.
