"Maslow's Before Blooms"
Blooms Taxonomy Chart
A humanist psychologist, Abraham Maslow introduced the concept of a hierarchy of needs in 1943. This hierarchy suggested that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs.
Some of the existing schools of thought at the time- such as psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud and behaviorism with Ivan Pavlov- had focused on problematic behaviors, Maslow was more interested in learning about what makes people happy and what they do to achieve that aim.
Maslow believed that people have an inborn desire to be self-actualized. In other words, people desire to be all that they can be, and they are unhappy when this is not achieved. To achieve this ultimate goal, however, a number of more basic needs must be met. This includes the need for food, safety, love, and self-esteem. The pyramid model to the left suggests that the preceding level must be fulfilled before continuing upward.
In 1956, psychologist Benjamin Bloom, published his framework for categorizing educational goals as seen to the left; Goals that became so popular, they are still used in our K-12 curriculum. Bloom’s assists teachers and instructors in creating curricula, courses, lesson plans, and learning activities, as well as assessments. It helps ensure that the students have clear measurable goals and expectations.
