Third force psychology and teacher education in relation to contiguity and standards.

Abstract

Third Force Psychology (Humanistic Psychology) is the prevailing theory underlying all teacher education programs, and all meaningful interaction with healthy individuals. Teacher education is certainly no exception to this rule. A school must perceive itself as a learning organization that is capable of improving itself by creating new methods of working and by developing new capabilities for doing that work (Resnick, 2000); and Cassel & Reiger, 2000).
