    REFLECTION 1

    Psychology is such an important and permanent factor that affects mostly everything in
    our life. Including education, psychology plays undeniably vital roles since teachers will most
    likely to face the behavior of their students above all. There are a lot of different factors that
    influence students’ behavior in school. For instance, students’ background, home environment,
    social life, beliefs and culture are some of the said factors that resulted in different behavior of
    students in school. Therefore, psychology is very much compulsory in understanding students’
    behavior to ensure positive and desired achievement among them. It is more likely to say that the
    roles of psychology in education rely heavily on teachers and educators.

    To begin, psychology enables teachers to understand their students well within a


    classroom. This leads to the choices of teaching styles and techniques to be applied for a specific
    classroom with various behaviors of the students especially in learning. Therefore, it is safe to
    mention that teachers who understand the students well will be able to implement the best
    teaching strategies within a classroom which can ensure the desired performances among
    students by the end of the lesson. According to BOUAFFAR (2012), the educational psychology
    encompasses the principles and concepts of psychology in various issues of education such as the
    development of teaching, learning, motivation, instruction, assessment and others that concerned
    with the teaching and learning process.

    Also mentioned in BOUAFFAR (2012), there are many approaches or theories found as
    main references in the teaching and learning process. BOUAFFAR (2012) added, “The most
    famous approaches to educational psychology are Behaviorism, Cognitive psychology, and
    Humanism, and each one of these approaches tackles the scope of educational psychology in a
    different way, according to its point of view and its principles.” Every approach introduced are
    broadly different from each other but based on the exact same goal which meant to help students
    and learners all around the world to enhance their capabilities, efforts as well as motivation.

    A closer example in the Humanism approach would be the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
    Hopper (2020) in a study explained the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a theory by Abraham
    Maslow, “which puts forward that people are motivated by five basic categories of needs:
    physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization.” In addition, it means that the
    Maslow’s idea about human needs assists teachers and educators to acknowledge the difficulties
    faced by the students when they are lacking the basic needs inside or outside their respective
    home. This approach shows the teachers the importance of the secure and suitable environment
    in the learning process and how the encouragement of thinking and creativity by the teacher can
    help students to upgrade themselves for a better future (BOUAFFAR, 2012).

    To conclude, psychology is strongly visible in education and teachers as the most


    prominent figure in education must work together with psychological concepts as well as
    principles to ensure the best education for students. Especially the well-known approaches in
    psychology, it is important for the teachers to know those theories and approaches, and their
    application to reach the goals of education and the teaching-learning process.
