Abstract
The humanist theory of learning, which emerged in the 1960s, is based on the natural desire of everyone to learn. It empowers the learner as the teacher is viewed as a facilitator and relinquishes a large amount of authority. Carl Rogers, Malcolm Knowles and Abraham Maslow are attributed with being members of the humanist school and share certain values and viewpoints on learning. They believe that learning is student centred and personalised, and that it has the goal of developing self-actualised and autonomous people.
