Humanistic Education: Too Tender for a Tough World?
Combs, Arthur W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v62 n6 p446-49 Feb 1981
Humanistic education is a systematic, conscious attempt to put into practice the best we know about the nature of human beings and how they learn. Humanistic education maintains that what students experience about themselves and their world is far too important for education to overlook. (Author/IRT)
