II. INTRODUCTION
Humanistic Approach to learning is theory that learner centered. It puts
emphasis on encouraging learners to develop an interest towards educating
themselves. It includes the observation of the behavior learners and the
outcome of the behavior. Abraham Maslow is regarded as the father of
Humanistic Psychology. He emphasizes experiences in the study of human
behavior and learning. The primary goal of a Humanistic Approach is human
well-being, including the primacy of human value, the development of Human
potential, and the acknowledgement of human dignity.
III. DISCUSSION/PRESENTATION
Humanistic Approach
This approach is rooted in the progressive philosophy and child
centered movement. It considers the formal or planned curriculum and
informal or hidden curriculum. It considers the whole child and believes that in
the curriculum the total development of the individual is the prime
consideration. The learners are the center of the curriculum.
Humanistic approaches to learning are based on the principles of
humanism and are found most notably on the work of Abraha Maslow (1902-
1970) and Carl Rogers (1902-1987).
The main components of the humanistic approach are that the lessons
are student-centered. Humanism allows students for social personal
development. It takes pressure of the students as is not performance-oriented
or test-dominated, this provides opportunity for success. The whole process is
about discovery.
Learning is not an end in itself; it is the means to progress towards the
pinnacle of self-development, which Maslow terms “self-actualization”. A child
learns because he or she is inwardly driven, and derives his or her reward
form the sense of achievement that having learned something affords.
The theory states that the learning is not just about the intellect, but
also about educating the “whole person” taking a person’s interest, goals and
enthusiasm into account, so that the full potential can be achieved.
It considers the;
 Formal or Planned Curriculum- it consists of the courses,
lessons and learning activities student participant in, as well as

the knowledge and skills educators intentionally teach to the
students.
 Informal or Hidden Curriculum- It refers to the unwritten,
unofficial and often unintended lessons, values and perspective
that the students learn in school.
-It Consists of the unspoken or implicit academic, social and
cultural messages that are communicated to students while they
are in school.
CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMANISTIC APPROACH
 Teacher is a role model
 Teachers should motivate learners
 Students should be observant
 Students should be responsible
 Students should explore
 Natural desire for learning
 Teacher is a facilitator
IV. IMPLICATION TO THE COURSE
Humanistic Approach allow the students to learn by their own free will
and desire for new knowledge. Since human desire to learn is innate and
aimed towards the ultimate goal of self-actualization, the motivation must
come from the learner. Humanistic learning is student-centered, so students
are encouraged to take control over their education. They make choices that
can range from daily activities to future goals. In humanistic approach the
teacher will allow students to learn by their own freewill and desire for
knowledge.
Therefore, as a future educator let us help and concentrate upon the
development of the child’s self-concept in preparation for their adult lives. If
the child feels good about him or herself then that is a positive start.
