I believe that the Foundation Phase Framework and Maslow’s theory link to a child living in poverties education and social development. Maslow’s Hierarchy of need showed us how children’s basic needs to achieve more are air, food, drink, shelter, warmth and sleep. These are known as Biological and Physiological needs. To continue onto the next step the children must have these needs. In my placement I have witnessed children coming into the class very tired, by this child's lack of sleep, I noticed how they didn’t do so well in their work that day. http://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs suggests that all individual children responses to learning is “dominated at any given moment by whichever need has priority”.
