Humanism is a learning theory that focuses on the learner's potential for growth. It views the teacher as a facilitator and believes people construct meaning through experiences. Key figures in humanism include Maslow, who developed the hierarchy of needs, and Rogers, who emphasized student-centered learning and client-centered therapy. The goal of humanism is to develop self-actualized people through a supportive learning environment. When using technology, students can work more independently to seek out information, while teachers can better evaluate individual student growth. However, technology also reduces group work and personal attention from teachers.
