Carl Rogers, in Freedom to Learn … talks about this

Rogers (1969) listed five defining elements of significant or experiential 
learning:

  1.  It has a quality of personal involvement – Significant learning has a 
quality of personal involvement in which “the whole person in both his feeling 
and cognitive aspects [is] in the learning event” (p. 5).
  2.  It is self-initiated – “Even when the impetus or stimulus comes from the 
outside, the sense of discovery, of reaching out, of grasping and 
comprehending, comes from within” (p. 5).
  3.  It is pervasive – Significant learning “makes a difference in the 
behavior, the attitudes, perhaps even the personality of the learner” (p. 5).
  4.  It is evaluated by the learner – The learner knows “whether it is meeting 
his need, whether it leads toward what he wants to know, whether it illuminates 
the dark area of ignorance he is experiencing” (p. 5).
  5.  Its essence is meaning – “When such learning takes place, the element of 
meaning to the learner is built into the whole experience” (p. 5).

Subject: Re: [OSList] A Question About Safety


Quoting from Harrison in The Practice of Peace.

Stuart Kaufman's original work which focused on biological systems aka the 
emergence of life on earth describes five pre-conditions for open space, one of 
which is "A safe, nutrient-rich environment."   Harrison goes on to describe 
the equivalent for Human systems as "some kind of safety and support in the 
overall environment."

I interpret safety as a psychologically safe space where individuals can act 
and speak ( take risks, share diverse views etc.

Can it be too safe to support self-organization?

Greetings all,

I have questions about safety related to self-organization I would love others 
thoughts on.

Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to support self-organization? 
Can safety be at such a high level that it inhibits or slows down the 
self-organizing process?

I'm very interested to hear others perspectives.

Best to all,

David
