Abstract

This article explores concerns regarding the standardization and technologization of education, specifically in the field of counseling psychology training. While acknowledging the potential benefits of these changes, such as increased access and improved planning, the author also highlights the negative consequences, including a loss of independence, curiosity, and risk-taking in the learning process. The article argues that spontaneity, emotion, and unpredictability are crucial for effective learning, and that a focus on metrics and outcomes can hinder genuine engagement. The author calls for a reevaluation of the current approach to education and emphasizes the importance of reflection, critical thinking, and protecting vital aspects of teaching and learning.
