Notes
Coined by Freire, the term praxis refers to “reflection and action directed at the structures to be transformed” (Freire 1970, p. 126). Freire, P. (1970). Pedagogy of the oppressed. Translated from Portuguese by Myra Ramos. New York: Continuum.
Cortesão explains: “In biological terms a ‘culture medium’ is a composite in which a set of nutrients are added to an agar medium, thus constituting an adequate environment for an organism – cells and/or animal or plant tissues – to grow” (p. 134).
The acronym stands for “Learning through Issue-Based Reverse Embedding”. For more information, visit https://mgiep.unesco.org/libre and https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/libre-an-integrated-approach-to-education [both accessed 28 February 2020].
