Abstract:
Pursuing meaning in life is such important that any faliure in capturing the real sense of life makes people surrender to despair. In this regard, the present article has focused on Viktor Frankl’s contrubition to psychology, called logotherapy, which still remains quite prominent in humanistic existential psychology. Through the use of Socratic questions and placing emphasis on three interelated aspects of creative, experiential and attitudinal changes and efforts, individuals can be directed to the correct path of purposefulness in life. The applicability of Franklian concepts in educational settings from the three aspects of creativity, experiential, and attitudinal endeavors was also discussed.Creativity in learning involves the activation and development of the processes that are particularly effective in solving ill-defined problems.In fact, creativity helps learners establish their sense of expert identity. Experiential aspect of Frankl’s meaning centeredness attends to the fact that education should provide learners with ample opportunities to deal with new experiences holistically and in a meaningful way to be able to relearn their lived experiences. And finally, attitudinal chnages point to the fact that resilience in harsh or disappointing situations is possible when learners understand that some problems are time-consuming and they have to learn to be patient in face of such complexities.
