Study Notes

Maslow's Theory

Maslow's theory is one of the earliest and most well-known motivation theories.
It's often presented as a pyramid.
It focuses on what motivates people, not the processes.
First proposed in the 1940s, fully expressed in 1954.
Despite some challenges to its validity, it remains popular and widely accepted.

Hierarchy of Needs

Physiological: Basic needs (nutrition, water, air, rest, exercise).
Safety: Security and feelings of safety (physical and emotional), shelter, stability.
Love/Belonging: Connection, love, belonging to a group.
Esteem: Achievement, recognition, and personal power.
Self-actualization: Reaching one's full potential; creativity, uniqueness.

Application to Children

Maslow's hierarchy can help identify children's needs and where gaps exist (e.g., ensuring breakfast for hungry children).
Attending to basic needs is crucial before expecting children to achieve their full potential.
All aspects of child development are included in the theory (physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and aesthetic).
