FREE ACADEMY
Free Academy isi doreste sa fie o platforma informationala, o
alternativa informala/nonformala la sistemul educational romanesc
(neperformant) fara pretentia de a fi pusa intr-un context oficial.
Plusand pe o maniera neoliberala de predare ne dorim prin acest
proiect sa urmarim beneficiile individuale si mai putin cele de grup.
Fiecare individ are sansa la cultura/culturalizare si, in extenso,
sansa la o alternativa ce-i poate determina cresterea valorica. Nu
credem ca o diploma poate oferi un exemplu de competenta si, mai ales,
de calitate a individului care o poseda si de aceea cursurile
structurate in Free Academy nu ofera diplome si alte tipuri de hartii.
Fiind adversarii "societatii acreditarilor" credem ca nu exista
tangente remarcabile intre o diploma si competenta profesionala a unui
individ. Ceea ce face diferenta intre sistemul formal propus de
parghiile oficiale ale statului prin ministerul de resort si educatia
informala, propusa de proiectul Free Academy, este faurirea a ceea ce
apare in discursul despre educatie ca fiind "cetateanul activ" - acel
tip de cetatean care participa la discursul social, care este agent al
schimbarii, care propune termenii dezvoltarii, care are resursele
atitudinale si competentele de a se implica.
Daca este adevarat ca omul devine ceea ce este prin educatie atunci
cursurile propuse in Free Academy trebuie sa insoteasca, sa modeleze
si sa spiritualizeze fiinta facand-o apta sa participe si sa
actioneze. Propunem ca subiect adecvat al proiectului nostru actiunea
singura activitate care se petrece de-a dreptul intre oameni, fara
mijlocirea obiectelor sau a materiei, corespunde conditiei umana a
pluralitatii, faptului ca oamenii si nu Omul, traiesc pe pamant si
populeaza lumea (H. Arendt).
Propunem actiunea in spatiul informatiilor in detrimentul acumularii
de informatii care, de cele mai multe ori, nu presupune cunoasterea.
Cunoaşterea este unul din procesele definitorii, fundamentale ale
spiritului uman. Procesul prim prin care constienta de realitate si de
sine apare in subiect raportandu-l la sine si la lumea sa....O
realitate in care poate actiona, experimenta, evalua si conclude
asupra consecintelor. Starea procesanta a unui sistem informaţional
cuplat cu un ambient realitate, care işi poate construi reprezentari
modale si strategii predictive asupra dinamicii ambientului şi poate
dezvolta acţiuni transformante, utilizante si evaluante in ambientul
modelat. in aceasta perspectiva interactiva, cunoaşterea poate fi o
relaţie perceptuala, gestuala, lingvistica sau mixta a sistemului cu
realitatea. Realitatea poate fi definita ca spaţiu obiectual-
interactiv, caracterizat prin alcatuire, corelare cauzala, proprietate
si eveniment....Cunoaşterea de tip uman presupune intenţionalitate,
rationalitate si evaluare. Intentionalitatea defineste predeterminarea
actiunii in real prin constructia unui model de actiune in mintea
subiectului, Rationalitatea defineste cautarea, identificarea,
explicitarea cauzala si utilizarea tuturor formelor, proprietatilor si
relatiilor intre proprietati, care permit subiectului sa realizeze o
anume transformare de stare in realitate, sau sa explice cauzal o
anume stare observata ori construita experimental. Valorizarea este
consecinta evaluarii utilitatii rezultatelor dobandite printr-o anume
cunoastere, printr-o actiune configuranta sau explicanta cauzal de
modalitate. Calitatea cunoaşterii depinde de instrumentele conceptuale
si experientiale utilizate pentru dobandirea şi folosirera
ei. ...Fiecare domeniu al cunoasterii are obiecte proprii, reguli
generative proprii si strategii evaluante si utilizante proprii, unele
accesibile majoritatii altele extrem de tehnice formal, sau subtil
realizante estetic...Cunoasterea culturala,opereaza cu variabile
ambigue precum valori, atitudini, , emotii, contacte, cooperari si
conflicte umane.
Ultima etapa a ratiunii si rationalizarii fiind abstractizarea Free
Academy doreste sortarea informatiilor pe principii subiective,
elaborate de catre cei care se erijeaza in profesori. Ne delimitam
clar prin modalitatea de predare precum si prin principiile ce ar
trebui sa guverneze un bun exemplu de educatie de pozitia formala a
profesorului, cea de magistro. Exludem indoctrinarea, imbecilizarea si
proiectarea personalitatii magistrului catre discipolii sai,
studentii, care preiau involuntar din incapacitatea profesorului de a
se exprima si gandi liber. Nu suntem importiva sistemului insa nici nu-
l sustinem.

FREE ACADEMY
Free Academy wishes to be an informational platform, an informal
alternative to the Romanian educational system (unsatisfying) without
the intent of placing it in an official context. Focusing on a neo-
liberal manner of teaching we would like, through this project, to
attain individual benefits rather than group ones.
Each individual has the opportunity to culture/culturalization and, in
extenso, an opportunity to an alternative that can determine the
growth of his value. We don’t believe that a diploma can offer an
example of competence and, especially, of individual quality and that
is precisely why Free Academy doesn’t offer any diplomas and other
types of papers.
Being the adversaries of the “accreditation society” we believe
that there aren’t any remarkable similarities between a diploma and
the professional competence of an individual. What makes the
difference between the formal system proposed by the official state
power network through the ministry and informal education, proposed by
the Free Academy project, is the creation of what appears in the
educational discourse as an “active citizen”- that type of citizen
that participates in the social debate, that is an agent of change,
that proposes the terms of development, that has the attitude
resources and competences to get involved.
If it’s true that man becomes what he is through education, then the
courses proposed by Free Academy must sustain, model and spiritualize
the being in order to make it fit to participate and take action. We
propose as adequate subject for our project, action, the only activity
that unfolds unconditioned between people, without the mediation of
objects or matter, that corresponds to the human condition of
pluralism, the fact that people and not Man, live on Earth and
populate the world (H. Arendt).
We propose action in the space of information to the detriment of
accumulation of information that, most of the time, doesn’t involve
knowledge. Knowledge is one of the defining processes, fundamental for
the human spirit. The prime process through which reality
consciousness and self-awareness appear in the subject relating one to
the self and one’s world. A reality in which one can take action,
experiment, evaluate and draw conclusions on the consequences. The
processing state of an informational system connected to a reality
ambient, that can build modal representations and predictive
strategies on the ambient dynamics and can develop transforming
actions, utilized and evaluated in the modeled ambient. Through this
interactive perspective, knowledge can be a perceptual, gestural,
linguistic or mixed relation to reality. Reality can be defined as an
object-interactive space, defined by structure, causal correlation,
property and event. Human knowledge entails intentionality,
rationality and evaluation. Intentionality defines the
predetermination of action in reality through the construction of an
action model in the mind of the subject. Rationality defines the
search, the identification, the causal expression and utilization of
all forms, properties and relations between properties, that enable
the subject to determine a certain transformation of state in reality
or to causally explain a certain state experimentally observed or
constructed. Valorization is a consequence of evaluating the utility
of the obtained results through certain knowledge, through a
configuring action or causally explaining modality. The quality of
knowledge depends on the conceptual and experiential instruments
utilized in gaining and using it. Each field of knowledge has its own
objects, own generating rules and own evaluating and utilizing
strategies, some accessible to the majority and others extremely
formal from a technical point of view or realized aesthetically in a
subtle way. Cultural knowledge operates with ambiguous variables such
as values, attitudes, emotions, contacts, cooperations and human
conflicts. The last step of reason and rationalization being
abstraction, Free Academy wishes to sort out information on subjective
grounds, elaborated by those that call themselves teachers. We
differentiate ourselves clearly through the teaching method, as well
as through the principles that should govern a good example of
education, from the formal status of the teacher, that of magistro. We
exclude indoctrination, idiotizing and projecting the personality of
the magister onto his disciples, the students that involuntarily
assume the incapacity of the teacher to think and express himself
freely. We are neither against the system, nor we support it.
