Search - On Becoming A Teacher: Person-centred research, philosophy, and dialogues with the late Carl Rogers

On Becoming A Teacher Personcentred research philosophy and dialogues with the late Carl Rogers
Author: Harold Lyon, Carl Rodgers, Reinhard Tausch

Carl Rogers has been named as one of the top six most influential psychologists of the twentieth century. His influence is similarly outstanding in the fields of education, counselling, psychotherapy, conflict resolution, and peace. A founder of humanistic psychology, he has impacted the world through his empathic presence, his rigorous research... more », and his authorship of numerous books that have sold millions of copies globally, including On Becoming a Person. On Becoming a Teacher is a new book that will present the final unpublished writings of Rogers and as such has a unique historical value. It will also present the research results of two series of highly relevant, related but independent studies summarizing what might be the most massive collection of data ever accumulated to test a person-centred theory in the field of education. This body of comprehensive research on effective teaching was accomplished by some of the authors and others over a twenty-year period in 42 States in the U.S. and seven other countries and is highly relevant to the concerns of teachers, psychologists, students, and parents. The book highlights the research in Germany by Reinhard Tausch which corroborated the findings of earlier work by Rogers, work also corroborated by the recent comprehensive work of John Hattie in his study of what leads to achievement, published in 2009: Visible Learning ? A Synthesis of over 800 Meta Analyses Relating to Achievement (Routledge). The principal findings of the research in this book are that teachers and schools can significantly improve their effectiveness through programs focusing on facilitative interpersonal relationships. Teachers who either naturally have, or are trained to have empathy, genuineness (congruence), and who prize their students (positive regard) create an important level of trust in the classroom and they exert significant positive effects on student outcomes including achievement scores, interpersonal functioning, self-concept, and attendance. This low-cost intervention can create significant improvement in teachers. This book also has historical significance in that it presents hitherto unpublished work of Carl Rogers whose earlier books have created a large international following of educators, teachers and learners. The dialogues between Rogers and Lyon, who served for nine years as Director of Education for the Gifted and Talented in the U.S. government offer a unique and timeless perspective on teaching, counselling and learning. The work of Reinhard Tausch who with his late wife, Anna Marie, and his colleagues, extended their rigorous investigations on person-centered teaching to counselors, parents, athletics, and even textbook materials, as well as research on the interactions of teachers and students, is among the most thorough research ever accomplished on the significance and potential of a person-centered approach to teaching and learning.
