The Importance And Roles Of Abraham Maslow's Education

Introduction

Children become bored if a teacher talks continuously for more than 3-5 minutes.

It was Abraham Maslow who once said ‘children have the right to learn’ in 1943. I strongly support Abraham Maslow since children are the basket for the future. Since they are our future, it is wise that we pass on our knowledge and experiences of the past unto them. Educating of the young’s at an effective and efficient rate is also important since delivery of concept determines whether a country’s economy grows or declines. Teachers in the other hand are responsible for the effective delivery of the curriculum while still making the subject pupils

Children don’t like to sit and listen to talking, they prefer to do things, play games and move about. Sitting all the time get children boring because they like doing things and participating in activities.

• Talking alone does not make children learn, it is said by a great theorists Howard Gardner ‘children learn through different things’, dancing, music etc. He also said that you need to know the children in order to know how they learn. Children like to see things from their own point of view. If a teacher is fun and he/she always bring something fun to the class children will enjoy that, especially if the teacher give them a chance to speak and see things off their own and allow the incoraption of flexible thinking, instead of telling them and talking a lot, Since this decreases their thinking capacity and causes them to be narrow mind and not persistent to learn since they are taught to believe what they near and not explore other

It is also important for a teacher to build a relationship with their pupils so they will understand their behaviour. Having a child profile on each child in the classroom will also help a teacher to keep track on the child, also to find out why he/she is in that cognitive state.

 Teachers should allow class discussion among each other for this is the only way a child will find out if he/she is wrong about what they were thinking or had in thought. It is said that learning is a powerful process that shape our life and class discussion is a healthy way to correct wrong thoughts, it can be done in many ways instead of talking all the time , it can be done in role-play, demonstration
