Problem-posing education rests on consciousness’s double structure of intentionality

Evidence

“Problem-posing” education, responding to the essence of consciousness—intentionality—rejects communiquĂ©s and embodies communication. It epitomizes the special characteristic of consciousness: being conscious of, not only as intent on objects but as turned in upon itself in a Jasperian “split”—consciousness as consciousness of consciousness. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 228

  • DEFINE: Precise mechanics of why problem-posing replaces communiquĂ©s: consciousness is not merely about objects but aware of its own awareness — a Jaspersian ‘split’ — so education must engage reflection, not transmission.
