Freire’s model of adult education

 

 

Can Freire’s model of adult education be used to design effective health
education digital games among adolescents?
Health education and health promotion programs are often
not very well received by adolescents, who perceive these to
be meaningless, thus making the task challenging. Monteiro
and colleagues (2018) experimented with the development of a
serious digital game (a game with an educational purpose) for
adolescents (aged 11 to 19 years) based on Freire’s model of
adult education. The game was called DECIDIX and focused on
imparting sexual and reproductive health education.
DECIDIX was developed by the Center for Studies and Research
on Vulnerability and Health in Childhood and Adolescence
(NEPVIAS) of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in
Brazil. The game uses instant messaging around a storyline for a
teen to chat with another teen and make decisions about issues
such as sexuality, gender issues, liability for contraception, and
consequences and responsibilities in an unplanned pregnancy.
At the end of the game, participants reflect on their actions and
are debriefed by the instructor. The methodology was based on
Freire’s model of adult education.
For qualitative evaluation, data were collected through audio
recordings, focus group discussions, interviews, and observa-
tions by participants and nonparticipants. Collected data were
coded and categorized thematically. Four themes emerged: the
approach to daily life by adolescents, critical reflection, relation-
ship between educator and learner, and emancipatory (freeing)
learning and experience. The researchers concluded that
DECIDIX had a positive impact on the lives of adolescents and
engaged them in meaningful reflection.

Questions for Discussion
1. Do you think Freire’s model of adult education can help
develop interesting and effective health education programs
for adolescents? Why or why not?
2. Do you think the case study adequately operationalized all
the constructs of Freire’s model of adult education? Why or
why not?
