• LEARNING OCCURS ON THE BASIC OF
A PERSON’S MOTIVATION, DERIVED
FROM NEEDS, THE DESIRE TO GROW
IN POSITIVE WAYS, SELF-CONCEPT,
AND SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS
There are 5 principles of Humanistic Approach in
education :
(i) Self-direction
(ii) Wanting and knowing how to learn
(iii) Self –evaluation
(iv) The importance of feelings
(v) Freedom from threat
# Students can choose what they want to learn
# The teachers should not interfere or determining
students’ decision
# Let the students to initiate the activity they want
and then ask teachers simply to provide information
and equipments for them to use in their activity.
 how to learn

# Learning how to learn is more important than

acquiring factual knowledge
# Teachers can play their role by helping the students
learn how to learn
# Should emphasize more on thinking process rather
than teaching determination
# Humanistic educators believe that grading systems
are irrelevant
# The students will not achieve their personal
satisfaction
# According to Holt (1964),
“Comparisons and grades are seen as humiliating
the child”
# Humanistic educators believe that both feelings and
knowledge are important to the learning process
# As teachers, we should concern about our students’
feelings
# The learning can be easiest and meaningful if it takes
place in a non-threatening situation
# Non-threatening situation is when the students feel
unstressed and able to overcome their pressure
 in the classroom

(1) Teacher as a facilitator

# teacher guides the activity which has been done by the
students
(2) Enhance critical thinking
# the whole class will take part in the activity by having
critical thinking process
# by practicing critical thinking system, we’ll produce
students who are able to express their views and able to
think deep beyond
(3) Establish privacy files
# privacy files so that the students will know their level
# can only be opened by the individual itself
(4) Fair learning
# teachers should apply a fair learning process
which every student is given chance to show their
ability and free to express their view
# everything being taught by us must be explain to
all and not to particular person only
(5) Provide non-threatening environment
# instead of giving the task individuality, the teacher
can set the task in group but evaluate individually
