An application of Abraham Maslow 's Hierarchy of Needs to Carl Rogers 10 Principles of Learning
Introduction
The objective of this paper is to explore the relevance of applying Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to the 10 principles of learning put forward by Carl Rogers in ‘Freedom to Learn’
(1969).
Rogers was one of the founders of the humanistic approach to psychotherapy and he was also a fervent educationalist. ‘Freedom to Learn’ (Rogers,1969) and
‘Freedom to Learn for the 80’s’ (Rogers,1983) were both a direct challenge to the education system in the United States. His introduction starts: ‘Our education system is, I believe, failing to meet the needs of our society’ (Rogers,1983). He questioned those who were saying ‘We must tell children what is right and wrong, that we must teach and they must follow’ (Rogers,1983). He noted that large and powerful groups were insisting that students must not read certain books and believed teachers operated in a climate of fear, unable to encourage children to grow to their full potential. The very title ‘Freedom to Learn’ was a statement of discontent with the system.
Maslow, in contrast to looking at the educational system, focused on the individual.
His theory of human motivation was published towards the end of the World War II
(1943). Maslow was heavily influenced by Freud (but did not consider himself a
Freudian). In simple terms, Maslow took an optimistic
