Cognitive theories of learning [Humanistic approaches to learning] Other angles on learning Knowles' andragogy: an angle on adult learning Reflective Practice Critical Reflection Humanistic Theory Humanistic "theories" of learning tend to be highly value-driven and hence more like pre scriptions (about what ought to happen) rather than de scriptions (of what does happen). They emphasise the "natural desire" of everyone to learn. Whether this natural desire is to learn whatever it is you are teaching , however, is not clear. It follows from this, they maintain, that learners need to be empowered and to have control over the learning process. So the teacher relinquishes a great deal of authority and becomes a facilitator. The school is particularly associated with Carl Rogers, and Abraham Maslow (psychologists), John Holt (child education) and Malcolm Knowles (adult education and proponent of andragogy). Insofar as he emphasises experiential learning, one could also include K olb among the humanists as well as the cognitive theorists.

Welcome to the Westchester Community for Humanistic Judaism! var sc_project=3322117; var sc_invisible=0; var sc_partition=36; var sc_security="8339d892"; The Westchester Community for Humanistic Judaism offers a non-theistic alternative in contemporary Jewish life. It is affiliated with the Society for Humanistic Judaism , which was established by Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine in 1963 in Detroit, Michigan, and has grown into a worldwide movement. Humanistic Judaism embraces a human-centered philosophy that combines the celebration of Jewish culture and identity with an adherence to humanistic values and ideas. Humanistic Jews value their Jewish identity and the aspects of Jewish culture that offer a genuine expression of their contemporary way of life. Humanistic Jewish communities celebrate Jewish holidays and life cycle events (such as weddings and bar and bat mitzvah) with inspirational ceremonies that draw upon but go beyond traditional literature.

Sign up for email updates Home Get Involved About NARTH Main Issues ... Donate from Theological Issues Humanistic Psychology and Christianity A Review of: The Emperor's New Clothes: The Naked Truth About the New Psychology (1985, Crossway Books, by William Kirk Kilpatrick) "When psychologists don the cloak of expert in areas in which they have no more authority than the average manthat is, when they invade religion, ethics, and politicsthey will often be found...to be wearing very little, and sometimes nothing at all." The Emperor's New Clothes Reviewed by Linda Ames Nicolosi This little out-of-print book is more than fifteen years old, yet it remains well worth reading. It offers a vivid and eye-opening explanation of how much of psychology echoes Christianitybecause it not only borrows, but simultaneously erodes, some of that faith's foundational tenets. In fact, it is ironic, Kilpatrick notes, that "the wholesale importation of psychological ideas into Christianity would not have occurred if psychology did not have a Christian tone and appearance." Kilpatrick, who is a psychologist himself, isn't suggesting that his profession simply be thrown away. There is much that is useful in it, he says. However, "wheat and weeds have grown up together." Along with psychology's very respectable work, "there is also adrift in the psychology community an abundance of speculation, wishful thinking, contradictory ideas, doubletalk, and ideology disguised as science."

Welcome to Humanistic Foster Family Agency AGENCY BASED FOSTER CARE A child-centered service, the Humanistic Foster Family Agency program provides individualized treatment to children through a healthy, structured and nurturing family environment. The program is beneficial to families with children who: need placement outside of their biological homes. are at risk of placement in a more restrictive environment. are transitioning from a more intensive treatment placement. The program staff includes a multi-disciplinary team of mental health professionals and family support workers with specialization in education, strength perspective, and skill building techniques. The program focuses on identifying and strengthening existing family support systems and assisting families in using these resources. The care team works together to provide a multidisciplinary approach to care through a comprehensive treatment plan which includes input from the youth and family whenever possible. Under a therapist's direction, specially-trained foster care parents implement consistent behavior management and therapeutic interventions in a stable, structured and nurturing home environment. This home will emphasize the systematic modeling, coaching, and regular practice of social skills. Emphasis is placed on the goal of family reunification or in some cases guardianship/adoption.

Humanistic Studies www.uwgb.edu search departments English ... Philosophy NAVIGATION Program Overview Why major in Humanistic Studies? Faculty Major Requirements ... Great Books Reading Group Program Overview Humanistic studies is an interdisciplinary program for the study of human values. Students in humanistic studies study the best and most influential expressions of values in a variety of time periods and cultures in order to understand what it is to be human, to give direction to their own lives, and to understand the lives of others. In the process of studying values, students sharpen their skills in reading, writing, oral presentation, and critical thinking: all skills that are demanded by employers in any field. While the factual content of humanistic studies courses ranges widely in subject matter, all courses emphasize a distinct set of broadly useful skills. Among these are the ability to express one's ideas in a clear, organized, well-reasoned, and grammatically correct manner in both speech and writing; to think critically and analyze texts; to make arguments and present them effectively; to understand context (how history and culture shape us); to recognize and appreciate nuance and complexity of meaning; and to understand and appreciate cultural diversity.

67. A Progressive And Humanistic Lifestyle An essay on living a humanistic and Progressive lifestyle. http://www.progressiveliving.org/lifestyle_essay.htm

A Progressive/Humanistic Lifestyle " When the moral and spiritual propensity inherent in human nature is frustrated by . . . external causes, the heart/mind will be corrupted. "While it is important to remove these causes . . . human corruption cannot be completely removed unless most individuals have cultivated their own nature and made their own character correct and righteous." Xinzhong Yao A Progressive Living Essay Introduction My purpose here is to make it clear what a life lived Progressively and Humanistically might be like, or, to put it another way, to describe the Humanistic lifestyle and its commitments. The more basic part of this task requires us to make clear what the core humanist and progressive values are, and why they lead to a commitment to a particular way of life; and the other part of the task requires us to make clear what it is that progressives and humanists can do, concretely, to effect those values. We'll focus here on values and the "why", together with some of the more general aspects of a progressive/humanistic lifestyle. Additional, and more economically oriented actions that can be taken can be found at this link Life Plans: A Metaphor A well-lived life in the Humanist view is as different from a poorly-lived one as a garden is from a patch of weeds. And just as it's easier to have a patch of weeds than a well-tended garden, it's easier to live a life of aimlessness and dissipation than one of attainment and fulfillment. Tragically, many people do.

W. Moore Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Chapter 1 [HTML] or [PDF format] What canand what can'tphilosophy do? What are its ethical risksand its possible rewards? How does it differ from science? In Philosophy as a Humanistic Discipline , Bernard Williams addresses these questions and presents a striking vision of philosophy as fundamentally different from science in its aims and methods even though there is still in philosophy "something that counts as getting it right." Written with his distinctive combination of rigor, imagination, depth, and humanism, the book amply demonstrates why Williams was one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. Spanning his career from his first publication to one of his last lectures, the book's previously unpublished or uncollected essays address metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics, as well as the scope and limits of philosophy itself. The essays are unified by Williams's constant concern that philosophy maintain contact with the human problems that animate it in the first place. As the book's editor, A. W. Moore, writes in his introduction, the title essay is "a kind of manifesto for Williams's conception of his own life's work." It is where he most directly asks "what philosophy can and cannot contribute to the project of making sense of things"answering that what philosophy can best help make sense of is "being human."

Distinctive letters : This can be described as a humanistic display script which still has much in common with formal Gothic book hands of the rotunda variety. Italian scribes never really adopted the highly compressed Gothic forms. This rounded hand mostly uses formal versions of the letters from Caroline minuscule , the script which was deliberately revived in the Italian Renaissance. Although not highly compressed, it retains some conjoined letter combinations such as do and be . Letters such as i u m and n are well separated however.

Philosophy Politics Contents: Affirmative Action and Its Discontents Culture and Objectivity Libertarianism Page Maximizing Liberty ... Progressives and Naturalists: Who Counts as a Humanist? (revised 8/07) The Progressive Implications of Naturalism Must Democrats Get Religion? In the election aftermath, Democrats are being enjoined to get religion. Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun , deplores the liberal disdain of spirituality, and says that Democrats should foster a “religious/spiritual left.” Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times suggests that Democrats “rebrand” themselves as faith-friendly, otherwise the party will never reclaim its majority status. What so tempts Democrats to don the mantle of religion, of course, is the steady slide to the political right over the last 30 years. Progressive stands on social, economic, and criminal justice, environmental protection, tax policy, health care, housing, social security, and women’s and minority rights have been increasingly marginalized. Taking their place is a narrow, prohibitionist moral agenda, concerned to deny or limit such things as abortion, gay rights, assisted dying, stem cell research, sex education, contraception, and gun control, to name a few of the right’s favorite targets. Since this agenda is driven by religious conservatives, the thinking goes, a religious left could lead the progressive counter-revolution.

an international and interdisciplinary journal of postmodern cultural sound, text and image Volume 3, January 2006, ISSN 1552-5112 The Humanistic Intellectual: Eleven Theses Richard Rorty We should not try to define “the humanities” by asking what the humanities departments share which distinguishes them from the rest of the university. The interesting dividing line is, instead, one that cuts across departments and disciplinary matrices. It divides people busy conforming to well-understood criteria for making contributions to knowledge from people trying to expand their own moral imaginations. These latter people read books in order to enlarge their sense of what is possible and important—either for themselves as individuals or for their society. Call these people the “humanistic intellectuals.” One often finds more such people in the anthropology department than in the classics department, and sometimes more in the law school than in the philosophy department. If one asks what good these people do, what social function they perform, neither “teaching” nor “research” is a very good answer. Their idea of teaching—or at least of the sort of teaching they hope to do—is not exactly the communication of knowledge, but more like stirring the kids up. When they apply for a leave or a grant, they may have to fill out forms about the aims and methods of their so-called research projects, but all they really want to do is read a lot more books in the hope of becoming a different sort of person.

Writing Humanistic language teaching Paul Bress 'Humanism' is one of those constructs that people argue about passionately. Instead of attempting to define it, perhaps it makes more sense to focus on some commonly agreed characteristics of humanism. These are: problem-solving, reasoning, free will, self-development, and co-operation. Humanism and learning theory The humanistic teacher Humanism in practice Teaching language items Teaching skills The teacher's status Flexibility Conclusion Humanism and learning theory Perhaps the most well-known applications of humanism in ELT are those of Curran (1976) and Gattegno (1972). The former advocated the use of 'Counselling-Learning'. In this practice, teachers sit outside a circle of learners and help them to talk about their personal and linguistic problems. The students decide the 'curriculum', while the teacher is more of a facilitator, who fosters an emotionally secure environment. Meanwhile, Gattegno advocated the Silent Way approach. In this, he presented challenges for learners. These challenges developed the students' awareness and encouraged their independence.
