QUESTION 1 [30 marks]
Respond to the following questions. One mark per fact.
1.1 Discuss the following theories, by naming the theorist and explaining the
importance or relevance of each theory to teachers. In other words, how
does awareness of this theory enable teachers to be more effective?
1.1.1 Hierarchy of needs
Theorist: Abraham Maslow
Importance/Relevance to Teachers:
Teachers can identify if learners' basic needs (physiological and safety) are unmet,
which might hinder their learning.
Knowing that higher-order needs (belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization)
become motivational only after lower-order needs are satisfied helps teachers create
a supportive learning environment.
Ensuring learners feel safe and secure in the classroom is foundational for effective
learning.
, Promoting positive relationships among learners helps them feel a sense of
belonging, which is critical for their motivation and engagement.
Providing opportunities for learners to achieve and recognize their accomplishments
can help build their self-esteem and move toward self-actualization.
Teachers are encouraged to consider the whole child, addressing emotional and
social needs, not just academic requirements.
Understanding that students' readiness to learn can be affected by unmet needs
helps teachers to respond more compassionately and effectively.
Teachers can provide differentiated support based on where learners are on
Maslow’s hierarchy.
Behavioral Insights: Awareness of unmet needs helps in understanding and
addressing behavioral issues in the classroom.
1.1.2 Attachment Theory
Theorist: John Bowlby
Importance/Relevance to Teachers:
Awareness of different attachment styles helps teachers understand student
behaviors and relationship dynamics.
Establishing secure attachments with learners can foster a safe and supportive
learning environment.
Teachers can help students develop better emotional regulation through consistent
and reliable interactions.
Identifying students with insecure attachments allows teachers to provide additional
support and resources.
Encouraging secure attachments can improve learners' social competence and peer
relationships.
Teachers can engage with parents to support secure attachments at home,
enhancing overall learner well-being.
Understanding attachment helps in developing effective behavior management
strategies tailored to individual learner needs.
Promoting secure attachments can increase students' resilience and ability to cope
with stress and challenges.
Classroom Atmosphere: A secure attachment environment fosters a positive and
cooperative classroom atmosphere
1.1.3 Psychosocial Theory of Development
Theorist: Erik Erikson
Importance/Relevance to Teachers:
Developmental Stages Awareness: Teachers can align their teaching strategies with
the specific developmental stages of their students.
Identity Formation: Supporting students in their quest for identity, especially during
adolescence, helps in promoting a positive self-concept.
Role of Social Interaction: Emphasizing the importance of social relationships in
learning and development.
Encouraging Autonomy: Helping younger students develop a sense of autonomy and
initiative.
Fostering Industry: Encouraging efforts and recognizing achievements in elementary
school to build a sense of industry.
