Humanism by Joshua Charles Davidson

Humanism looks at the whole individual and their inner feelings that affect their behaviour (McLeod, 2012)

Humanism is the view of learning as a function of the whole person and the belief that cognitive and affective domains need to be involved for learning to take place. self-determination is an important factor within humanist learning theory (Euromedinfo, 2014)

Humanistic learning should be student-centred and individualistic

Learning should focussed on the student, which would be

individualised learning. The role of the teacher is to be a facilitator (see mentoring models).

(Learning-theories, 2014)

People have a natural desire to learn, which should be embraced by

empowering students and allowing student to decide their own learning process.#

Evidence within a mentoring model!

Within the Clutterbuck (1998) mentoring model

the mentor is the facilitator

Within the Boyatzis (2000) model of intentional change can tie into this as its looking at the ideal self and the actual self, considering ones own feelings

Evidence within mentoring schemes!

Mentoring focuses on the mentee to consider their own goal set and their own needs, wants and desires considering their actual and ideal self.

Humanism takes a holistic approach to mentoring.

There's a belief that people want to learn and improve, so the mentoring process help them do this.
