that knowledge was found verifiable by observation and experience. John Locke has a book
published titled "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" that he learned how we make ideas,
also he said that our human mind is a blank slate. From empty of ideas to simple ideas become more
compound or complex ideas when we combine them all ideas. For example, when a child was first
time used a bicycle doesn't mean that the child already to ride a bike of course the parents or
guardian will help the child to ride a bike for a while and will continue to learn by him/herself. Also,
the Empiricist by John Locke has Concerning of Education that the proper education starts in early

conduct to make ideas.

combines education with theory. The critical pedagogy educational movement, guided by passion
and principle, to help the students develop consciousness of freedom, recognize authoritarian
tendencies, and connect knowledge to power and the ability to make constructive action. Paulo

student. This is mostly the case of the poor, who need to explore ways to find meaning and purpose
in their lives. One of the key objectives of critical pedagogy is to allow students to gain necessary
social skills to allow them to actively participate in a transformed and inclusive democratic
community. In the terms of pedagogy, Paulo Freire is best known for his attack on what he called the
"banking" concept of education in which the student was viewed as an empty account to be filled by
the teacher. He notes that it transforms students into receiving objects. It attempts to control
thinking and action. leads men and women to adjust to the world and inhibits their creative power.
