During the next couple of pages, I have written a literature review based on a third edition book written by Carl Rogers and H. Jerome Freiberg (1994) called Freedom to Learn. I will first provide the reader with a brief summary of the book followed by what, and how this information will be used in my future classroom. I feel it is extremely important to debug such useful information and related to my perspective of what classroom management is. Then the conclusion will follow, including what I actually got out of this book. This literature review should answer questions as the following; Was this book useful? Did I learn something new? Do I feel more capable to produce effective classroom management in a classroom? What did the authors use

Concepts that helped form an overview of what makes education a success. Both Rogers and Freiberg (1994) separated such concepts into topics in order to provide a deeper understanding as to what makes an educational system work. They began by expanding on the difficulties and opportunities children encounter in school. The authors enforce that motivation, respect and acknowledgement is what a student desires from a teacher. Both conducted their own personal research for this. Later they began explaining the challenges that present-day teaching encounters. This is a great way to remind future teachers that not everything is white, positive, and amazing but rather black in some areas. Rogers and Freiberg (1994) look into the challenges teachers, and students face in school. Adding that now and days “schools function through mandates and bureaucracy rather than through the needs of the learner” (p.23). Then Rogers and Freiberg (1994) begin stating the importance that interpersonal relationships between teachers and students hold in the facilitation of learning. Both authors then prove the authenticity, and trustworthiness by providing a very well formatted detailed research regarding person-centered issues in …show more content…
I think this is a powerful statement as teachers tend to always prepare for bad situations. This causes to close the doors to many possibilities that would have enabled a great school year. I believe both authors facilitated an amazing framework of what students actually want from a teacher. I was fascinated to learn that students enjoy school when a teacher provides love and support. I want my future students to feel trusted and respected. I want to make sure they know that I see them and respect them. In order to have classroom management I have to set a learning environment where trust and respect are infused. I believe classroom management will absolutely work when students feel like home. Why? They will respect rules, procedures, and exceed teacher expectations. I can see how students will behave in a classroom as they will feel entitled to show gratitude. Rogers and Freiberg (1994) state the over 20% if people in America move and millions of students live with only one parent, extending the idea of the family, which sometimes they will only find it in a classroom (p.06). Both authors suggest that a classroom should contain custom motivation, consequences and rewards for each of the students. Making sure they all feel like they have choices, freedom, support, warmth and opportunities. Rogers and Freiberg (1994) argue that this is what students want and desire based on personal
