Popular EducationThe idea of popular education is a teaching methodology that came
from Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator and writer named, who
was writing in the context of literacy education for poor and politically
disempowered people in his country.
Popular Education
It is different from formal, traditional education. It is a process
which aims to empower people to take control of their own learning,
to make a social change.
Popular EducationPopular education requires a high
degree of participation from everybody. Teachers and learners are not two
distinct groups. Everyone teaches and everyone learns.
Popular EducationLearners should be able to make
decisions about what they are learning, and how the learning process takes place. A facilitator is needed to make sure that new ideas arise, progress, and do not get
too repetitive. In popular education, people can facilitate another' person’s learning and help each other as they
learn.
Popular Education is a learning process which: Is accessible to people with a variety of
education levels; Addresses the issues people face in their
communities; Moves people toward a place of action; Develops new grassroots leadership. Is based on the lived experience of those
participating in the learning; Incorporates non-traditional methods of
learning – such as poetry, music or visual arts

Write these three down (leaving space in between) on the easel pad.
Adult Learning PrincipalsAs you work with different groups using the combination of techniques, you may find it
much different than you once thought. Teaching adults can be very different than
teaching children.
Adult Learning PrincipalsMalcolm Knowles was a famous adult
educator, and adopted six main objectives for adult learning principles.
Knowles' theory can be stated with six assumptions related to motivation of adult learning:
Adults need to know the reason for learning something (Need to Know)
Experience (including error) provides the basis for learning activities (Foundation)
Adults need to be responsible for their decisions on education; involvement in the planning and evaluation of their instruction (Self-concept)
Adults are most interested in learning subjects having immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives (Readiness)
Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented (Orientation)
Adults respond better to internal versus external motivators (Motivation)
