I was most impressed with the part of humanistic education approach.In schools today, there are many different views on what is the best approach thateducators should use to teach our students. One important view to consider whendeciding which approach to use is the humanistic view of education. The major focus ofhumanistic education is the development of the whole child (i.e., the development of astudent’s emotions, values, self-concept, goals, and needs).
In the information age, the objectives of the humanistic theory are important in that they relate to the trends that are currently taking place in the workforce. However, the results of a meta-analysis demonstrate that the programs developed under the rubric of humanistic education did not achieve these objectives with students. As educators, we must analyze the importance of these objectives, describe why the results of the meta-analysis possibly occurred, and find possible solutions to the problems.
Before I read this chapter, I had a restrictive role for English teacher such as a typical image of teacher who can teach students well. But I realize that we, teachers can influence our student extensively and cover wide range of their life.
