An American social work faculty person took responsibility for a study abroad program in Costa Rica. One of the major challenges was that the faculty member had very limited command of Spanish. One afternoon, the instructor and three students stopped at a local grocery market to make some purchases. After coming back to America, he had regular opportunities in grocery stores and other venues to step in to assist Spanish-speaking individuals when they faced the overwhelming sense of vulnerability based on their struggles to master the English language. According to Freire’s ideas about moving from naïve consciousness to critical consciousness, this faculty member is in which of the following stage?
