Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Its Relation to Learning and Achievement

Abstract

Learners in courses or training can be preoccupied. They worry about other courses, their home life, friends, extracurricular activities, physiological needs like food and sleep, and the list goes on. When learners are preoccupied with these concerns, learning and achievement are regularly put on the back burner. So how do we get our learners to focus on learning? Instructors can help learners satisfy needs, so the focus can be on content, learning, and achievement. This 3-page fact sheet was written by Sarah E. Burleson and Andrew C. Thoron, and published by the UF Department of Agricultural Education and Communication, April 2014.

Modeling safety challenges journalists faced in reporting anti-police brutality protests (ENDSARS protests) in Nigeria

“…Safety need borders on the environment and they manifest in different places like home, places of work, school, among others. Burleson and Thoron (2017: 2) in stressing the importance of safety notes: ‘If a child has a bad home life (fighting parents, addicted parents, absent parents, etc.) or lives in an unsafe neighborhood, the child will have trouble focusing on learning when he/she does not feel secure.” With those words, Burleson and Thoron paint a brief picture of the role of safety in human behaviour.…”
