Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
A humanistic approach treats the learner as an active, self-directing person whose needs, interests, agency, and potential for growth shape learning. It therefore emphasizes intrinsic motivation, curiosity, higher development, responsiveness, and personally meaningful experience.
A statement belongs to this approach when it centers the learner’s self-development and need-based engagement rather than external control or rote conditioning.
Application
Apply that learner-centered criterion to each statement:
Statement | Learner-centered connection |
|---|---|
A | Self-motivation places the source of effort within the learner. |
B | Higher-level learning points toward self-transcendence and self-actualization. |
C | Curiosity supports self-initiated exploration and meaningful engagement. |
D | Learner reactivity here means active responsiveness to the learning experience. |
E | Need-based learning connects instruction with the learner’s individual requirements. |
Contrast
A and D only leaves out the growth, curiosity, and need-based dimensions stated in B, C, and E.
B, C and E only leaves out the self-motivation and responsiveness dimensions stated in A and D.
A, B, C, D and E includes every learner-centered dimension represented in the statements.
B and D only leaves out self-motivation, curiosity, and need-based engagement stated in A, C, and E.
Therefore, the complete set is A, B, C, D and E.
