I want to talk aboutlearning.Butnotthe lifeless, sterile,


futile, quickly forgotten stuff that is crammed in to the mind
of the poor helpless individual tied into his seat by ironclad
bonds of conformity! I am talking about LEARNING -the
insatiable curiosity that drives the adolescent boy to absorb
everything he can see or hear or read about gasoline
engines in order to improve the efficiency and speed of his
cruiser. I am talking about the student who says, I am
discovering, drawing in from the outside, and making that
which is drawn in a real part ofme. I am talking about any
learning in which the experience of the learner progresses
along this line: No, no, thats not what I want; Wait! This
is closer to what I am interested in, what I need; Ah, here
it is! Now Im grasping and comprehending what Ineedand
what I want to know!Carl Rogers 1983: 18-19
