Maslow’s Disciples
1. Carl Rogers “ROGERS’ STUDENT-CENTER LEARNING THEORY”
Carl Rogers (1902-1987) was a humanistic psychologist who agreed with the
main assumptions of Abraham Maslow, but added that for a person to "grow",
they need an environment that provides them with genuineness (openness and
self-disclosure), acceptance (being seen with unconditional positive regard), and
empathy (being listened to and understood).
Self-Actualization
"The organism has one basic tendency and striving - to actualize, maintain, and
enhance the experiencing organism”
2. Jack Mezirow “TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING THEORY”
Mezirow’s Transformational Learning Theory
Transformative learning is a theory of adult learning that utilizes disorienting
dilemmas to challenge students’ thinking. Students are then encouraged to use
critical thinking and questioning to consider if their underlying assumptions and
beliefs about the world are accurate.
