Abraham Maslow's Needs Theory


Here we can see the diagram shows the Abraham Maslow's theory of needs. His theory is used in most field that involve human being.
This theory is implemented on the educational system in my country, Malaysia.
The first human needs is Physiological needs such as food, cloth, shelter, sleep, rest, etc.
After the physiological needs was fulfilled, human need to feel safe. A human need to live in a safe surrounding and free from the threat of physical and emotional harm.
After that, human needs to have a good social live. Friendship, belonging to a group and giving and receiving love will be needs for human.
After a person feels that they "belong", the urge to attain a degree of importance emerges. Esteem needs can be categorized as external motivators and internal motivators.Internally motivating esteem needs are those such as self-esteem, accomplishment, and self respect. External esteem needs are those such as reputation and recognition.
Self-actualization is the summit of Maslow's motivation theory. It is about the quest of reaching one's full potential as a person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is never fully satisfied; as one grows psychologically there are always new opportunities to continue to grow.

How this theory works in education???

Sports and education.




Sports and education is like water in a glass. They are very close and need each other. I am a very active sportsmen and coach for some sports in my school. We have made some winning time for some sports that we have took part.
As a human being we need to exercise to have a healthy lifestyle. I always recommend my pupils to take parts in at least one sport to make them always exercise and have healthy body. This may take them to the successful of their life.
These are some photo of my football team. We have been the champion of the Besut District.

Teacher: The human artist.

How can a teacher be a human artist? Why I said that? All of us learn from at least a teacher. We must have teacher to have skills and knowledge to live in this earth. Without a teacher we are nothing.
As we were born, we do not know anything. We learn how to speak, walk, run and everything we can do now. How we learn these? By using our sense, brain and the inquire of the what we want to know, is it possible that we can learn all? Of course not! We need teacher to teach us to do something.
By a teacher, we also can learn something faster and easier. Our first teacher usually our parents. They teach us to walk, talk and do basic things to live. We learn a lot of knowledge in school such as history, mathematics, science etc.
I am very proud to be a teacher because I can paint the future. I am the one of the future painter. I teach children to be 'someone' in the future. If I teach something that can benefit the human being and the world. If I teach them something wrong, disaster will come.
