| Summary: | Student Centered learning
(SCL) focuses on the need, abilities, interest
and learning styles of the students then of
others involve in the educational process.
Being students centered engages instructors
in a humanistic approach to education in
which they function as facilitators of learning
(Nuckles, 2000). In counseling and
psychotherapy, Person Centered
Counseling (PCC) center to the client as a
person, not his or her problem. PCC belongs
to the humanistic theory of counseling that
focuses on the potential of individuals to
actively choose and purposely decide about
matters related to themselves and their
environments. Rogers (1980) emphasized
hat people need to be assisted in learning
how to cope with situations and to become a
fUlly-functioning person. Roger believes that
the principles of PCC could be applied
outside counseling situation, thus the
Person Centered Leaning (PCL) was
developed. Relationship between
facilitator/counselor and learner is the
central criteria hat signified CC and PCL.
Evidently, PCC strongly believes hat
significant positive changes could not occur
except in relationships. In addition, Rogers
specified the necessary core conditions in
PCC and PCL, I.e. realness, congruence,
genuine or transparency in the
client/facilitator, acceptance or respect
towards the client/learner or unconditional
positive regard, and the striving for empathic
understanding of the client/learner. These
three core conditions are the prerequisite in
PCC and PCL for change and effective
learning to take place. This paper discusses
lived experiences of facilitators and learners
in SCL on their understanding of Roger's
core conditions. It will give suggestion on
methods and others ways to promote PCL
as another approach in SCL. |
