It is stated that the modern trends is away from an education which only provides cognitive knowledge and toward education which develops the child's self-knowledge and capacity to think creativity and analytically and encourages the child to feel self-esteem. A bibliography provides information on where to write for specific curriculum packages, what materials are included, what specific kinds of activities are used, and advantages and disadvantaged of different, widely-used programs. The document's title, "Feeling Around in the Dark," is meant to imply that the affective areas of education are still only vaguely understood, but that it is important to make an effort at finding out how a humanistic education can best relate to the psychological needs of learners.
