The humanist approach to learning
Humanist learning theorists believe that learners are persons of free will and will choose what, how and when they will learn. (Tovey & Lawlor, 2008)
It is developed from the cognitive approach, but believes that the learner is ever seeking to increase their own knowledge and to continue their learning.
In the humanist approach, learners learn by doing, and they also learn co-operatively.
