This approach tends to encourage learners to develop the tendency of accepting the word of the teacher and the text without questioning – take it uncritically.
This way learning degenerates to a simple process of conditioning and brainwashing; this is what Paulo Freire called the BANKING concept of education.
Here, the teacher deposits 'knowledge' in the learners’ supposedly empty
heads in the same way one deposits money in the bank.
In turn, the learners are expected to guard this knowledge jealously till it is demanded back from them – at the time of EXAMINATION.
Thus the learner acts like a depository, an empty vessel to be filled – Bucket theory
This encourages pure ROTE LEARNING
In the end, learners acquire notions, ideas etc without really internalizing them, without understanding them.
They become AUTOMATONS. They have not been affected or infected by education; they in a word cannot operate independently
