Method

In Freinet pedagogy, we understand method to mean what the word “la technique” means in French. We have deliberately chosen the term “method” because it is directly aligned with the Freinet pedagogical approach. One example of a method is free writing: it is based on the idea that it is not a rule, but an opportunity to use free space for creative design processes. A contrast to this would be a concrete technique, e.g. the “5-step reading technique”.
