A self-actualising learning programme: an educational neuropsychological perspective

This study has examined the effectiveness of a neuropsychologically based learning
programme aimed at enhancing the seJt:.actualisation of learners. The aim of the
programme is to create awareness of one's unique purpose in life. The need for
motivation, commitment and determination must he realised. llolistic thinking is an
important concept throughout the programme, in that it is aimed at unlocking latent
potential through the encouragement of lateral thinking. The awareness of underlying
potential enhances the realisation of each Ieamer's uniqueness and individual
contributions to society, and facilitates awareness of the need to accept responsibility for
one's own future. 'Ibis failure to fully utilise the potential of the brain has implications
for education. A teacher who is made aware ofthe huge untapped storage ofhuman brain
potential could be trained to disclose a learner's unused abilities, through adjusted
education, thus infonning learners of the intrinsic abilities oftheir brains. / Educational studies / M.Ed.
