Humanist
The humanist theory focuses on the child as a whole. This includes the child’s emotional well-being and encourages the teacher to figure out the negative influences the child might have in their life. These negative influences might be hunger, fatigue, and emotional insecurity. The founder of this theory is Carl Rogers. This theory encourages the teacher to consider the negative influences that may affect a student’s overall well-being in a classroom environment. It includes aspects of the classroom such as its size, temperature, ventilation, etc. Once the negative influence is found, the teacher should try and remove this influence. For example, providing the students with time to snack, or allowing them to rest their eyes for five minutes.
