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.  
CunoaÅterea 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 informaÅional  
cuplat cu un ambient realitate, care iÅi poate construi reprezentari  
modale si strategii predictive asupra dinamicii ambientului Åi poate  
dezvolta acÅiuni transformante, utilizante si evaluante in ambientul  
modelat. in aceasta perspectiva interactiva, cunoaÅterea poate fi o  
relaÅie perceptuala, gestuala, lingvistica sau mixta a sistemului cu  
realitatea. Realitatea poate fi definita ca spaÅiu obiectual- 
interactiv, caracterizat prin alcatuire, corelare cauzala, proprietate  
si eveniment....CunoaÅterea de tip uman presupune intenÅionalitate,  
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 cunoaÅterii depinde de instrumentele conceptuale  
si experientiale utilizate pentru dobandirea Åi 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 donât believe that a diploma can offer an  
example of competence and, especially, of individual quality and that  
is precisely why Free Academy doesnât offer any diplomas and other  
types of papers.

Being the adversaries of the âaccreditation societyâ we believe  
that there arenât 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 âactive citizenâ- 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 itâs 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, doesnât 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 oneâs 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.
