About this Quote

This quote by Carl Rogers suggests that testing a trainee's accomplishments to see if they meet a certain criterion set by the teacher is not favorable to significant learning. Rogers believes that testing a student's accomplishments in this way is counterintuitive to the concepts of therapy, which is suggested to cultivate meaningful learning. He recommends that evaluating a trainee's achievements in this way is not beneficial to the trainee's knowing procedure, as it does not permit the student to check out and discover knowledge on their own. Instead, it puts the emphasis on the teacher's expectations and requirements, which can be detrimental to the trainee's learning experience. Rogers believes that significant learning should be motivated through therapy, which allows the trainee to check out and find knowledge on their own, instead of counting on the instructor's expectations and criteria.
