Human Nature and Potential (AESA R. Freeman Butts Lecture--1982).
Scheffler, Israel
Educational Studies, v14 n3 p211-24 Fall 1983

Educators must understand the nature of potential to anticipate and promote the emergence of qualities not yet evident, as well as to capitalize on potentials already manifest. (IS)
