THE POTENTIAL OF HUMANISTIC LEARNING IN THE ROMANIAN SCHOOL IN THE CONTEXT OF NEW EDUCATION METHODS AND OF THE PRESENT SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: Humanistic learning in the Romanian school, in the context of new education methods and of the present society, can be seen as a viable alternative to the normative approaches of the educational practice. The potential of the humanistic approach to education has to stand, firstly, for a balanced approach of the cognitive and the affective; at the same time, teachers will have to accept the role of facilitators/assistants of the children/students in the education process, having the obligation to respect their uniqueness, and to apply those methods, procedures, and instruments capable to maximize their potential for growth and for psychological development. We believe that reaching an optimum balance between the interpretative paradigm and the normative paradigm in the current educational practice would generate the defining elements allowing “education to start from and come back to the pupils”.
