According to Carl Rogers' 'Humanistic Approach to Education' and the principles of 'Facilitative Learning' and 'Experiential Learning', the role of a teacher shifts from a 'transmitter' or 'knower' to a 'facilitator'. In this context, which of the following psychological statements most accurately defines the core spirit of Rogers' experiential learning and child-centered education?

Detailed Explanation

According to Carl Rogers' humanistic theory, Experiential Learning refers to learning that is personally engaged, involving the whole person (both cognitive and affective aspects). Rogers believed that true learning is self-initiated, and when students learn and evaluate from their own experiences, it leaves the deepest and most lasting impact.

In this approach, the teacher acts as a facilitator who creates an environment conducive to learning, rather than an authoritarian instructor.

• Option B is correct because it captures the essence of personal involvement, self-motivation, and the integration of cognitive and affective domains.
• Options A, C, and D reflect behaviorist or teacher-centric paradigms, which contradict Rogers' humanistic philosophy.
