As Ritter notes, Freire’s works took hold in U.S. colleges in the 1980s, resulting in a generation of teachers trained as graduate students to regard “The Banking Concept of Education” (and, by extension, Pedagogy of the Oppressed) as a foundational pedagogical text, an alternative to what John Trimbur and Harvey Kail have called the “generate and transmit” model of teaching.
