3. Godwin Describes Judgment
• “one of the purest kind of obedience,
where an action flows from the
independent conviction of our private
judgment, where we are directed, not by
the precarious and mutable interference of
another but by a recollection of the
intrinsic and mutable interference with
another, but by a recollection of the
intrinsic and indefeasible tendency of the
action to be performed” (Godwin 119).
• In this kind of obedience, the action is
based upon our understanding of the need
for, or the rightness of the action and not
based upon the approval of others in the
community.
4. Godwin Describes Coercion
• “Where a man, in issuing his percept, does not deliver that
which may be neglected with impunity; but his requisition
is attended with a sanction, and the violation of it will be
followed with a penalty” (Godwin 120).
• What I believe this means is any human being does not
show their potential work until they know and discover the
consequences of the punishment, and until they also learn
that it is a dishonor to get a punishment, so therefore
people must show fear and show their full potential work.
He describes it as one of the strict ways of forcing
obedience due to the fact that one may be severely
punished if one does not do what one is told to do (Godwin
120).
• In this kind of obedience one fears the punishment if one
does not comply, but if one does comply, the reward may
be big.
5. Godwin Describes Confidence
• “the reposing of
confidence,” in others
who have superior
knowledge, skills,
expertise in some field
than in oneself so that
the final outcome is
more fit and beneficial
(Godwin 119).
7. •
Banking Concept
“Education thus becomes an act of
depositing, in which the students are the
depositories and the teacher is the
depositor. Instead of communicating, the
teacher issues communiqués and makes
deposits which the students patiently
receive, memorize, and repeat” (Freire 1).
• The author is trying to explain that the
student has to receive information from
the teacher so the student has to put the
information that the teacher teaches into
their head. The second step is when the
student has to take the information and
then memorize the information the
student tried to store.
• And finally the last step is when the
student has to withdraw the information
when the student is being asked a
question based on that topic or when the
student is quizzed on. The author believes
that these steps are followed throughout
our daily lives in order to function in a
society.
8. Problem-posing
• “They must abandon the
educational goal of deposit-
making and replace it with
the posing of the problems
of human beings in their
relations with the world”
(Ferire 6).
• He is trying to convey that if
one has to look at the idea
of problem posing, one will
have to drop the idea of the
banking concept, because in
this case one is looking for
the errors in people.
9. Connecting Godwin to Freire
Problem Solving
• How is this related to Conviction and
Confidence?
Banking Concept
• How is this related to Confidence and
coercion?
10. Problem Solving and Conviction
How they are related
• Problem posing makes one be
engaged with real life problems
and based on conviction, “Private
Judgment” one has to make the
sole decision by themselves to
solve the problem in this case.
• One has to understand and think
about the problem that they have
and based on their own previous
experiences of a similar problem
they are solving it by themselves
with no other help.
11. Problem Solving and Confidence
How are they related
• Another way one may approach this
is when one has a actual problem,
one may seek help from others just
to make sure that their solving
method will have a better chance of
working and boost their confidence
of trying to achieve that goal
• Also one may not succeed the first
time but one may always come back
and involve many people to seek
out knowledge that agree with one
another to give them a better
chance of succeeding at it
12. Banking Concept and Confidence
How they are related
• In this case lets just say the teacher has to
prepare the students for an exam
• banking method to make sure the students
memorize
• In this case the students have to obey her to
gain confidence for their future exams.
13. Banking Concept and Coercion
How they are related
• Lets just say it is a previous scenario to the
previous slide, except this times the parents
are involved with their son/daughter
• The parents are providing the force to make
sure the student does well on their exams by
punishing them if they get a lower grade
14. In Conclusion
What have we learned
• both the authors, Godwin and Freire have
both described some concepts/authorities
which both relate to one another not only in
education but also real life situations.
