Abstract

This article scientifically analyzes the principle of trust in students within Carl R. Rogers' person-centered educational philosophy. Rogers emphasizes that in the educational process, the trust expressed by the teacher plays a crucial role in developing the student's free choice, independent decision-making, and personal responsibility. The article thoroughly examines Rogers' principles such as empathy, genuineness, and unconditional acceptance, conducting a comparative analysis with modern scientific theories and empirical research. Additionally, the strengths and weaknesses of Rogers' approach are discussed through critiques by scholars such as Paulo Freire and B.F. Skinner. The research results indicate that trust in students is essential for organizing education on a humanistic basis; however, it is important to harmonize this approach with contemporary contexts and social factors.
