If Abraham Maslow Hierarchical Classification of Needs is the basic foundation of teacher education, then what approach to teacher education would it be ?
Answer: B
It would be the humanistic approach.
Abraham Maslow was a founder of humanistic psychology. His hierarchy of needs, from physiological and safety needs through love and esteem to self-actualisation, puts the whole person, personal growth and the realisation of potential at the centre. A teacher education programme built on it would stress the teacher's own growth, self-understanding and attention to learners' needs, which is the humanistic approach.
The behaviouristic approach rests on conditioning and observable behaviour (Skinner). The systems approach treats teacher education as an input-process-output system. 'Affective approach' is not the standard name for an approach built on Maslow's theory.
