Adaptive pedagogy rooted in students’ actual needs characterizes Freirean practice

Evidence

Within the scope of our pedagogical approach as Freirean in nature, we were always exploring to better meet the needs of our students, realizing the political nature of education, the importance of examining the theory that informed our practice, and the pedagogical approach that would best work with the adult learners who came from a variety of backgrounds and experiences (Haddad, 1985). — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1316
