%HUMANIZATION OF SCIENTISTS 780414
The person who has been accultrated into the
scientists' value system will tend to be alienated from
person-oriented individuals---and so will succeed as a
teacher of person-oriented individuals only by asking
students (overtly or covertly) to give up their person-
orientation in exchange for the scientists' value system.
There is another unlikely alternative: the scientists may
undergo a difficult metamorphosis and regain a person-
orientation by reaffirming values which are not included
in the traditional scientists' value system. This latter
alternative is difficult and emotionally painful because
it involves questioning the exclusive dedication of most
scientists to their narrow system of values. The
affirmation of person-oriented values questions the value
of many perspectives and behavior patterns which
traditional scientists regard of ultimate importance. The
scientists who undergo a humanization process experience
terrifying threats to the foci of their ultimate concerns.
It is thus exceedingly difficult to help an already
science-accultrated person become a personable/effective
teacher. It is likewise exceedingly difficult to help a
person who is already exclusively accultrated to person-
oriented values---to acquire the technical competence
which is essential to effective science teaching. In the
long run the most effective way to prepare science
teachers will be to help grade-school children and
adolescents make their passages through their
developmental stages without feeling the need to adopt any
exclusive set of values. They should be provided with a
learning environment which enables them to value every
possible value in a situational way---recognizing the
limited range of propriety. The learning process should
assist in developing the concern for, and ability to,
recognize the limited range of propriety of each and every
value. The grounds for affirming each value within it's
limited range of propriety should be made evident, and the
grounds for caution in affirming a value outside the
confirmed range of propriety should also be made evident.
Humanized science teachers are a prerequisite to
transcending technocracy.
