Page "Carl Rogers" Paragraph 52
from
Wikipedia
#“ The structure and organization of self appears to become more rigid under threats and to relax its boundaries when completely free from threat ” ( Rogers, 1951 ).
If students believe that concepts are being forced upon them, they might become uncomfortable and fearful.
A classroom tone of support helps to alleviate fears and encourages students to have the courage to explore concepts and beliefs that vary from those they bring to the classroom.
Also, new information might threaten the student ’ s concept of him-or herself ; therefore, the less vulnerable the student feels, the more likely he or she will be able to open up to the learning process.
