Answer preview

The humanist theory of learning was pioneered by theorists like Abraham Maslow, James F. T Bugenta, and Carl Rogers in the early 1900s (Bransford et al. 2006). The theory was developed to respond to the common education theories, including psychoanalysis and behaviorism at the time.

An Activity, Strategy, Or Resource to Promote This Learning Theory Within Your Classroom

One of the strategies that the educators need to apply humanist learning theory in their classroom is rewarding the learners’ efforts but not an outcome (Resilient educator. 2018, December 24). This helps the teachers to offer equal opportunities for all children, even for those students who do not perform well. Another method is to evaluate the learners’ needs and wants regularly. It helps the educator fashion learning that will address the individual needs of each student. Also, the teacher needs to establish emotional support for all the learners.
