Exploring students’ fundamental needs and the significance of Maslow’s hierarchy in the English classroom
Resumen
This research analyzes the fundamental needs of students in the English classroom, considering Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs and taking into account the influence of the classroom environment and the teacher's role in the teaching-learning process. The study is based on humanistic theory, which posits that learning can only fully develop when basic physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs are progressively met.
This research was conducted using a qualitative approach, applying the narrative synthesis method to review and organize information from scientific articles, theses, and recent academic sources that validate this research.
The results demonstrate that the teacher's role is essential to balancing cognitive and humanistic objectives. Addressing students' basic and emotional needs increases their motivation, participation, and academic performance. Furthermore, it is emphasized that a safe and stimulating classroom environment fosters confidence and a positive attitude toward learning. In conclusion, it is stated that English language teaching should adopt a holistic, human-centered approach, in which addressing fundamental needs becomes the basis for achieving both academic success and personal development for students.
