John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose ideas
have been influential in education and social reform. He was one of the most prominent
American scholars in the first half of the twentieth century.

Dewey thought that effective education came primarily through social interactions and that the
school setting should be considered a social institution. He considered education to be a

Reflect on this question: How will the thinking of Abraham Maslow influence your teaching
practice in the future? rs e
ou urc
In 1950’s year, Abraham Maslow became one of the founder and driving force of
o

Humanistic Psychology. In his theory it includes the Hierarchy of Needs, Self-Actualization and
aC s

peak experience where it became the fundamental subjects in humanist movement. The
vi y re

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs influence my teaching as it’s theory motivates in educational

circles. Maslow’s require that we need to satisfy first the series of our needs before we meet our
potential. As teachers do assess each student in adapting the instructions provided to meet their
ed d

needs in reaching the stage which is safety. It talks about the feeling of students inside the class
ar stu

and secure them in gaining trust. The next stage is what we call Self-esteem, it is where
students should feel that they belong and being loved inside the class. In the final stage we call
it Self-actualization where in all the previous stages are being achieved with full potential of
students where they listen and interfere inside the class.
