Field theory proposes that an individual's psychological environment, or life space, is composed of the person and all external factors influencing their behavior, both consciously and unconsciously. A person's life space includes their needs, motives, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and physical surroundings. Their movement and learning within this life space is determined by vectors of motivation toward or away from goals, and the positive or negative valences of different regions. Conflicts can arise when opposing vectors create approach-approach, approach-avoidance, or avoidance-avoidance dilemmas. Barriers may also restrict a person's movement toward their goals. According to field theory, learning occurs through perceptual reorganization of one's life space via locomotion between regions as their cognitive
Learning is a process of perceptual organization or reorganization of one’s life space involving insight and emphasizes on behavior and motivation in learning
Humanistic approach talks about human potential which can only be harnessed by an individual by focussing on internalization and subjective knowledge for this world for the attainment of self-actualization or true potential by fulfilling the needs as per the hierarchy of importance.

This power point presentation is on Carl Rogers theory of personality. This ppt would be helpful for both UG and PG students and is developed to fulfill the objective of curriculum.
Allport's personality Theory separates all traits into three basic subcategories: Cardinal, Central, and Secondary traits. This trait theory suggests that individual personalities are composed of broad dispositions. It is also based mainly on differences between individuals. The combination and interaction of various traits form a personality that is unique to each individual, this theory focused on identifying and measuring these individual personality characteristics.
In humanistic psychology it is emphasized people have free will and they play an active role in determining how they behave. Humanistic psychologists try to see people’s lives as those people would see them. They tend to have an optimistic perspective on human nature
Accordingly, humanistic psychology focuses on subjective experiences of persons as opposed to forced, definitive factors that determine behavior.
Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers were proponents of humanistic view

notes for Educational pyschology for undergraduate and masters students who need information that is relevant for exams or test.It will be useful for teachers too ,Educational psychology is one of the oldest branches in the field, with roots dating back at least to Plato.
Plato believed that learning is based on the mind’s innate capacity to receive information and judge its intellectual and moral value.
Plato’s foremost pupil, Aristotle, emphasized how learning involves building associations such as succession in time, contiguity in space, and similarities and/or contrasts.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. A Field is a psychological concept.
Every individual has his own field of perception and field forces.
Field consist of a person and his psychological environment.
Psychological environment implies the mental world in which a person
lives at a defined moment of his life.
5. Life space is a psychological representation of individual's
environment.
The life space includes the person himself and everything in
his environment that influence his behavior.
It includes both the things of which he is consciously aware
and the factors which influence him even though he is
unconscious of them .
6. It includes the persons , his drives, motives, believes,
tensions, thoughts, feelings and his physical environment
which consist of perceived objects and events.
The life spaces of two persons in an identical situation maybe
entirely different .
7. The person is often represented as a points moving about in his life. Psychologically a person is
composed of two components
Motor perceptual stratum(abilities)
Inner personal stratum(needs)
8. • The life space is surrounded by a non psychological boundary called
foreign hull.
• Topology is non-metrical geometry which includes concepts such as
inside, outside and boundary.
• In field psychology, a vector means a force that is influencing
psychological movement towards or away from a goal
9. •Valences are the attracting or repelling powers of regions.
Objects may have either positive or negative valence. The
movement of person is decided by the valence of the goal.
• POSITIVE VALENCE: The object or goal which satisfy needs or are
attractive to the person.
• NEGATIVE VALENCE: The object or goal which threatens the
individual or are repulsive to the person.
10. It is the state of tensions brought in by the presence of two opposing
desires in the individual .
• If only one vector impelling upon the individual, he will move in the
direction indicated by the vector .
• If two equally balanced vectors are operating , the result is a conflict.
• As the person is influenced by several valences at a time, these give
rise to conflicts.
• There are three types of conflicts
Approach- approach conflict
Approach – avoidance conflict
Avoidance- avoidance conflict
11. • It arises when the person is caught in between two goals both having positive
valences.
• It is a conflict between two positive goals which are equally attractive.
• Eg: 1. A Person who wants to go two marriages scheduled at the same time.
2. A person who wants to choose a course after completing degree.
12. • It arises when the person is caught in between a positive and a negative goal.
• The same object has strong positive valence as well as negative valence.
• Eg: Smoking, alcohol consumption etc. is enjoyable, but they are threat to
health.
13. • It arises when a person is caught in between two goals both having negative
valences. The person is like “caught in between devil and sea”.
• Eg: A student who desires to avoid doing homework as well as the punishment
from the teacher.
14. • Locomotion in life space is delineated by a geometrical representation
of the selection of alternative, the examining of possibilities , the setting
out towards the goal.
• “Learning takes place as a result of locomotion from
one region of life space to another. When a person
moves from one region to another, the structure of life
space undergoes change”.
Locomotion
15. A barrier is a psychological obstruction.
• They restrict the person’s movement towards the goal, and the path he
must follow to reach his goal.
• It may be objects, people, social codes anything which threatens the
motivated individual as he is moving towards a goal.
16. According to the field theory proposed by Kurt Lewin,
“Learning is a process of perceptual organization or
reorganization of one’s life space involving insight and
emphasizes on behavior and motivation in learning”.
According to this theory, the behavior(B) of an individual is a function
of interacting person(P) in the total psychological environmental
situation(E)
i.e. B = f(P,E)
17. EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATION
The teacher should present the whole problem and evoke the
cognitive and emotional readiness in the learners for optimum
learning.
In order to achieve optimum communication and meaningful give
and take, a teacher should try to workout the life space of each
student in his class.
Motivation is an important factor in bringing changes in the
cognitive structure of a student. In order to motivate the students, the
teacher has to identify both the driving as well as the restraining
forces present in the life space of each student.
