Abstract

Abstract The authors trace the development of the humanistic movement in education. Three aspects of humanistic psychology, in particular, have spurred research and development in education: (1) its focus on human experience and the relationship of experience to behavior, (2) its conceptualizations of the nature of healthy functioning, (3) its understandings of interpersonal dynamics conducive to learning and growth in human beings. Implications of these concepts for educational purposes and practices are explored. Although the authors maintain that the contributions of humanistic psychology are fundamental to the healthy growth of education, their limited impact upon education is discussed.
