The Humanistic School of Thought (Week 4)

      Hi everyone, Today, I am here again in my blog to talk about the lesson that that I have learned in my Pedagogy In Education class  for this week.

      Firstly, in this week class, I managed to learn about " The Humanistic School Of Thought" which is the second type of school of thought after " The Humanistic School Of Thought" which I have discussed in detail in my previous blog.

      In this week class, I managed to learn about what is this school of thought and how this school of thought can help in the progress of the learning and teaching process in the school. Based on what I have managed to learn, this particular school of approach mainly emphasizes the concept of accepting the students or learners the way they are and make them to feel better about themselves. Besides that, as an educator, it's a must to accept the students they way they are so that the students are able to show and expose their respective talents and skills in the classroom and at the same time, they will not have the fear in mixing around with others including teachers in the classroom.

      Moreover, I also learned about a few core beliefs that are followed or hold by the humanistic school of approach. One of the example of the beliefs is that " Having good feelings about others is also essential to healthy development" which means that whenever we have good thought on others in the classroom environment, we are able to work together and understand each other in more detail that can help to develop ourselves in future besides helping us to have an effective teaching and learning process in the classroom environment in future.

      In addition to this topic, I also managed to learn several humanistic approaches to teaching and learning process. There are two types of humanistic teaching and learning which are project method and cooperative learning. The project method encourages the students to follow their own learning interests, meanwhile cooperative learning promotes social and emotional growth in a classroom where children share, accept, and respect ("All for one, One for all") concept.

There also a few other examples of humanistic teaching and learning. They are:

1. Inviting School Success- must know to accept learners's needs and to accept them the way they are.

2. Values Clarification- refers as the tool to help learners to identify themselves in terms of their goals and beliefs ( what are their goals and beliefs)

3. Moral Education- refers to the values education taught in the school that can help the learners to adapt good moral values and beliefs into themselves.

4. Multi-ethnic Education- refers to the educational practice that can help to give support to the learners to admire the culture and diversity of others in future.

      So, this all that I have managed to learn and adapt into myself in my this week Pedagogy In Education class. I feel that this knowing this particular school of thought will definitely help me in my teaching career especially in terms on understanding my students's needs and behaviors which is one of the important key element in having an effective classroom teaching and learning process in future.

      That's all from me for today. I WILL BE BACK AGAIN next week to discuss the another new topic that I will be learning next week which is the " The Behavioral School Of Thought". Until than , keep visiting my blog  and have a nice day. I WOULD appreciate if you all as the readers will be able to give feedback for my articles that I have written so far in my blog. Thank you. Have a nice day.
