-===== About humanism =====
-Humanism as a approach to education and learning paradigm was mostly developed during 1960s. Humanism in general starts from **belief in human inherent goodness** and views **learning as a mean of self-actualization and development of personal potentials**. Most important humanist authors that shaped this theory were [[http://www.nrogers.com/carlrogersbio.html|Carl Rogers]] and [[http://www.abraham-maslow.com/amIndex.asp|Abraham Maslow]] whose works were mostly orientated on understanding of personality.
-Humanists emphasize importance **responsibility for individuals actions**, importance of **present moment**, **worth of every individual** and **happiness through self-achievement as the ultimate living goal**. Humanist approach of **free will** and **inherent human goodness** contrasts Freud's and biological approaches, which claim human behavior and cognition are determined by experience and prior events.
-One of Maslow's contributions widely accepted even beyond borders of humanism is the [[http://www.abraham-maslow.com/maslow_Images/Maslow_Needs_Hierarchy.jpg|hierarchy of needs]] in which he tried to formulate the **human motivation framework**. Hierarchy of needs approaches human motivation in terms of different kind of needs that have to be satisfied in order to move to the higher level of needs. Those levels include **psychology**, **safety**, **society**, **esteem** and **self-actualization needs** and need to be **satisfied in the mentioned order**.

-===== Critic =====
-Although there are viewpoint and personality tests like William Stephenson's [[http://allpsych.com/personalitysynopsis/humanistic_research.html|Q methodology (Q-Sort)]], one of first noticed disadvantages of humanist approach is the reduced capacity for experimental research.
