4.2.2 Humanistic design

This design emphasizes the meeting of individual needs in a conducive, supportive learning environment. The humanistic approach to curriculum design may well incorporate all the features of the experience design with the additional factor of providing a supportive environment for the individual learner.

Alternatively, it may offer some subject structure as a guide to learners. The intent of this design is to deliberately provide a curriculum which purposively reflects those supportive features from humanistic psychology such as caring, support, enhanced self-concept and the like.
