The document discusses the humanistic theory of learning. Some key points include:
- Humanism focuses on human potential, freedom, and intentionality rather than behaviorism or cognitive approaches.
- Theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Rogers' emphasis on experiential learning and the teacher as a facilitator are discussed.
- Humanistic learning involves observation, self-evaluation, and taking responsibility for one's own learning. It views the teacher as a role model and facilitator rather than an authority.

Behavioral psychology, also known as behaviorism, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century. Today, behavioral techniques are still widely used in therapeutic settings to help clients learn new skills and behaviors

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Humanistic Theory of Learning
1. Humanistic
Theory of
Learning
By: Adora A. Barnachea
IM 219 – Principles and Teachniques of Adult Learning
Dr. Carmen Garlan 2nd Sem. 2009 - 2010
Miriam College, Q.C.
2. Humanism
• Humanism, a paradigm that emerged
in the 1960s, focuses on the human
freedom, dignity, and potential.
• A central assumption of humanism,
according to Huitt (2001), is that
people act with intentionality and
values. This is in contrast to the
behaviorist notion of operant
conditioning (which argues that all
behavior is the result of the
application of consequences) and the
cognitive psychologist belief that the
discovering knowledge or constructing
meaning is central to learning
• Humanists also believe that it is
necessary to study the person as a
whole, especially as an individual
grows and develops over the lifespan.
It follows that the study of the self,
motivation, and goals are areas of
particular interest.
3. • The humanistic theory of
learning involves the concept of
learning through watching the
behavior of others and what
results from that behavior.
However, learning does not have
to involve a behavior change.
Learning comes about as a result
of observation (Barrett, 2006).
4. • The teacher's role, according to
the humanistic theory, is to be a
role model. The teacher is to
model appropriate behavior and
make an effort not to replicate
inappropriate behavior. A
teacher is also expected to
provide a reason and motivation
for each task, teach general
learning skills, foster group
work, and if possible, give a
choice of tasks to the students
(Huitt, 2001).
5. • The role of the student is to
explore and observe. Students
can use self-evaluation
techniques to monitor and
observe their own behaviors and
make necessary changes.
Students also need to take
responsibility for their own
learning and keep their goals
realistic.
6. • If a teacher were to use a
humanistic approach to teach a
unit in multiplication she would
have the students work in
collaborative groups. There,
students can closely observe the
behavior of peers and evaluate
their own progress. A teacher
could also let the students
brainstorm and discuss how they
think they would best learn
multiplication as a class (Huitt,
2001).
7. Humanistic Orientations
to Learning
Humanistic "theories" of
learning tend to be highly
value-driven and hence
more like prescriptions
(about what ought to
happen) rather than
descriptions (of what does
happen).
8. • They emphasise the "natural
desire" of everyone to learn.
Whether this natural desire is to
learn whatever it is you are
teaching, however, is not clear.
• It follows from this, they
maintain, that learners need to
be empowered and to have
control over the learning
process.
• So the teacher relinquishes a
great deal of authority and
becomes a facilitator.
9. • In short, the basic concern
in this orientation is for the
human potential for growth.
10. Figures in Humanistic
models of Learning
Key Proponents of Humanism
• Abraham Maslow
• Carl Rogers
• Malcolm Knowles (adult
education and andragogy)
Other Proponents:
• David Kolb
• Jack Mezirow
• Paolo Freire
11. Abraham Maslow
(1908 – 1970)
Ø Considered the Father of Humanistic
Psychology;
Ø Maslow's theory is based on the notion
that experience is the primary
phenomenon in the study of human
learning and behavior.
Ø He placed emphasis on choice,
creativity, values, self-realization, all
distinctively human qualities, and
believed that meaningfulness and
subjectivity were more important
than objectivity.
Ø He believed that development of
human potential, dignity and worth
are ultimate concerns.
12. • Maslow rejected behaviorist views and
Freud's theories on the basis of their
reductionistic approaches. He felt
Freud's view of human nature was
negative, and he valued goodness,
nobility and reason. Also, Freud
concentrated on the mentally ill, and
Maslow was interested in healthy
human psychology
• He is famous for proposing that human
motivation is based on a hierarchy of
needs. The four levels (lower-order
needs) are considered physiological
needs, while the top level is
considered growth needs. The lower
level needs need to be satisfied
before higher-order needs can
influence behavior.
13. Self-actualization – morality, creativity, problem
solving, etc.
Esteem – includes confidence, self-esteem,
achievement, respect, etc.
Belongingness – includes love, friendship, intimacy,
family, etc.
Safety – includes security of environment,
employment, resources, health, property, etc.
Physiological – includes air, food, water, sex, sleep,
other factors towards homeostasis, etc.
14. Ø From Maslow's perspective, the drive
to learn is intrinsic. The purpose of
learning is to bring about self-
actualization, and the goals of
educators should include this process.
Learning contributes to psychological
health.
Ø Maslow proposed other goals of
learning, including discovery of one's
vocation or destiny; knowledge of
values; realization of life as precious,
acquisition of peak experiences, sense
of accomplishment, satisfaction of
psychological needs, awareness of
beauty and wonder in life, impulse
control, developing choice, and
grappling with the critical existential
problems of life.
15. Ø Maslow's theory of learning
highlighted the differences between
experiential knowledge and spectator
knowledge. He regarded spectator, or
scientific, knowledge to be inferior to
experiential.
Ø Properties of experiential learning
include:
• immersion in the experience without
awareness of the flow of time
• momentarily not being self-conscious
• transcending time, place, history, and
society by being beyond and
unaffected by them
• merging with that which is being
experienced
• being innocently receptive, as a child,
uncritical
16. • suspending temporarily evaluation of
the experience in terms of its
importance or unimportance
• lack of inhibition, subsiding of
selfishness, fear, defensiveness
• experience unfolds naturally without
striving or effort
• suspending criticism, validation, and
evaluation of the experience
• trusting experience by passively
letting it happen; letting go of
preconceived notions
• disengaging from logical, analytical,
and rational activities
17. Carl Rogers
(1902 – 1987)
Experiential Learning
Ø Principally known as the founder of
person-centred psychotherapy and
almost the inventor of counselling,
also a leading figure in the
development of humanistic
approaches to education.
Ø He was discouraged by the emphasis
on cognitivism in education. He
believed this was responsible for the
loss of excitement and enthusiasm for
learning.
Ø Rogers' point of view emphasized the
inclusion of feelings and emotions in
education.
18. Ø He believed that education and
therapy shared similar goals of
personal change and self-knowing. He
was interested in learning that leads
to personal growth and development,
as was Maslow.
Ø He believed that the highest levels of
significant learning included personal
involvement at both the affective and
cognitive levels, were self-initiated,
were so pervasive they could change
attitudes, behavior, and in some
cases, even the personality of the
learner. Learnings needed to be
evaluated by the learner and take on
meaning as part of the total
experience.
19. Ø He saw the following elements as
being involved in significant or
experiential learning.
• It has a quality of personal
involvement—the whole person in
both feeling and cognitive aspects
being in the learning event.
• It is self-initiated. Even when the
impetus or stimulus comes from the
outside, the sense of discovers of
reaching out, of grasping and
comprehending, comes from within.
• It is pervasive. It makes a difference
in the behaviour, the attitudes,
perhaps even the personality of the
learner.
20. • It is evaluated by the learner. She
knows whether it is meeting her need,
whether it leads toward what she
wants to know, whether it illuminates
the dark area of ignorance she is
experiencing. The locus of evaluation,
we might say, resides definitely in the
learner.
• Its essence is meaning. When such
learning takes place, the element of
meaning to the learner is built into
the whole experience.
21. Ø Rogers outlined attitudes which
characterized a true facilitator of
learning:
1. Realness - the instructor should not
present a "front" or "facade" but
should strive to be aware of his/her
own feelings and to communicate
them in the classroom context. The
instructor should present genuineness,
and engage in direct personal
encounters with the learner.
2. Prizing the Learner - This
characteristic includes acceptance
and trust of each individual student.
The instructor must be able to accept
the fear, hesitation, apathy, and goals
of the learner.
22. 3. Empathic Understanding - The
instructor can understand the
student's reactions from the inside.
Carl Rogers warned that a non-
judgmental teacher is sure to arouse
suspicion in older students and
adults, because they have been
"conned" so many times. The wise
teacher is aware of this and can
accept their initial distrust and
apprehension as new relationships
between teacher and students are
built.
23. Summary
• Humanism is a paradigm/
philosophy/pedagogical
approach that believes learning
is viewed as a personal act to
fulfil one’s potential.
• In Humanistic Perspective,
emotions and affect play a role
in learning
• Key terms in this theory are self-
actualization, teacher as
facilitator, and affect
