• Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior
• What living thing does is known as behavior
• This theory only focus on the objectively observable
and measurable behavior and discount any
independent activities of the mind
• In these schools, knowledge is transferred by the
teacher while the learner is a passive participant.
Nevertheless, this knowledge is viewed as objective,
factual and absolute.

2. HUMANISTIC LEARNING THEORY
• Abraham Maslow was a humanistic theorist. He explained that every person is
born with a set of basic needs as; biological and physiological, safety,
belongingness or love, self-esteem, and self-actualization needs. He believed that
when lower needs are fulfilled, the higher level needs are emerged (Madsen and
Wilson, 2006).
• Schools following this theory should provide these needs of pupils. Firstly should
provide the biological and physiological needs like clean air; comfort should be
safe enough for pupils to feel emotionally secured. Child can feel belonging to his
class-school if he is allowed to personalize his environment. That is why classrooms
can allow maximum amount of independence to realize this. Further, pupils also
can work on different issues, in different groups at the same time, observe what
others doing, learn from one another, and make interpersonal relationships
• Self-esteem requires school environment to be equal for all students; so that the
child believes that every student has the same rights at school. And if he
understands that nobody is surpassed by another and every student is equal, he
feels being respected by others. For self-actualization, school environment must
offer choices of spaces which can s to do what they aimed.
