Hello @broncofan99! I just wrote a post about the cerebral hemispheres and learning and I find your post ... and immediately my brain started to associate this with the kind of students we can find in a classroom.
For this reason I want to share with you my opinion about what you say:
I totally and absolutely agree with you, it has been proven that students learn more when the teacher creates an environment where the student feels safe and relaxed (and this we can achieve with humanization)
On the other hand, I think the students' choice about university careers according to the cerebral hemisphere that predominates and how they see the humanization of a teacher seems fabulous. I explain: students who tend to pursue scientific careers (usually think more with the left hemisphere) and in my country these students do not react very well to the humanization of a teacher (they prefer serious and difficult teachers), I do not know why when They find a teacher with humanized classes think that the teacher does not dominate the race. However, the students of social careers yield more with humanized professors.
Maybe one day write a little about this!
You bring up an excellent point. They way teachers educate and deal with students can differ depending on where you live in the world. Cultural differences certainly play a role in this.
