CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The statement is false: according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, lower level needs take precedence over higher order needs. An individual must first deal with the lower order needs (physiological, safety & security).

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is True. As per the concept of prepotency, lower-order needs must be substantially fulfilled before higher-order needs are addressed. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Physiological needs are at the lowest followed by Safety, Social and Esteem. The highest level in the hierarchy is Self-actualization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maslow noted that the order of needs might be flexible based on external circumstances or individual differences. For example, he notes that for some individuals, the need for self-esteem is more important than the need for love. For others, the need for creative fulfillment may supersede even the most basic needs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The higher up in the hierarchy a student is, the better the motivation and therefore the student will experience more effective learning. Maslow’s hierarchy provides a model for how students are motivated to learn. Without the lowest layer of the hierarchy met, students cannot reach the next level.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some things I now think are true needs: Food, water, clothing, heat, shelter, and basic safety, of course.
