Conscious intentionality in the educational process according to Paulo Freire

This study deals with the question of conscious intentionality in the educational process. The objective is to show that awareness, the final purpose of education, is only reached when man becomes conscious that he is in the world and with the world. The methodology used consisted of analysis of some Paulo Freire writings , which allowed us to perceive that it is in the praxis, that man really takes conscience. This process was called "awareness". It was perceived in this study, that a deep dependence exists between the awareness and educational processes and the concrete process of man liberation.
