This paper discusses the value of a Freirean liberatory perspective in community colleges, countering the traditional "second chance" or "social reproduction" viewpoints attributed by scholars to the education offered in these institutions, emphasizing its vital need in science and healthcare careers education. I explore the potential of this perspective by providing illustrative examples from a biology course incorporating social justice science issues in the curriculum to examine their relationship in cultivating students' critical consciousness at a community college with a programmatic emphasis on healthcare professions.
本文探讨了弗莱雷解放性视角在社区学院中的价值,反驳了学者们赋予这些机构所提供教育的传统“第二次机会”或“社会再生产”观点,强调了其在科学和医疗保健职业教育中的迫切需求。我通过提供生物学课程中的示例来探索这一视角的潜力,该课程将社会正义科学问题纳入课程,以审视它们在一所重点培养医疗保健专业人才的社区学院中培养学生批判性意识方面的关系。
