DUSO is an experiential approach to learning which relies on the teacher as the facilitator of human development. The need for such a model becomes apparent when an examination of schools reveals a dichotomy between what we value in education and what children experience. What is necessary then is a program based on an affective, holistic design. The implication is that the child will begin to learn from himself and others, not just from the teacher. The contributions and interaction of all the children are valued. (MPJ)
