Humanism as a learning theory

The goal of humanistic education is the development of people.

Emotions, attitudes, physical aspect are important too...

Learning is by discovery...

and experimentation..

The teacher is a facilitator..

who offers options..

and a flexible resource...who becomes a learner

and sets the initial climate in a leraning experience..

The student is the center

The self is what a person really is..

Although each person is unique, humanism recognizes the common humanity of all people...

Self actualization manifests itself a desire for self fulfillment...

gives a loving environment to develop and learn

focus on the whole person

intuition and subjective experiences

emphasis on affective dimension

holds sacred the dignity and autonomy of human beings
