Humanism as a learning theory

Carl Rogers thought that it was important that learning
results in “a change in the organization of the self” (Illeris,

2018, p. 88). People are viewed as being eager to learn, and

that this learning results in changing of yourself. The role of
the teacher is therefore one facilitator, rather than of

transmitter of knowledge (Reis, 2014)

Learning Task
Create a mindmap that summarises the learning theories presented

in this chapter. (Chapter 5 will give you tips about great mindmap
tools you can use for this task.)

Resource
Youtube is not only great for watching once-off videos - you can also

subscribe to channels and receive notifications when new videos are

uploaded. On these channels, you will find playlists, which are
compilations of videos, much like your favourite music playlist.

Subscribe to Education Global Access Program (E-Gap) to see how

these learning theories are used in the learning environment.
