objects that are near or 'proximate' to each other tend to be grouped together.
The Law of similarity states that things which share visual characteristics such as
shape, size, color, texture, value or orientation will be seen as belonging
together.
The Law of Closure states that we can perceive forms and figures in their
complete appearance despite the absence of one or more of their parts, either
hidden or totally absent.
The law of continuity suggests that we are more likely to perceive continuous,
smooth flowing lines rather than jagged, broken lines
The law of Pragnanz is sometimes referred to as the law of good figure or the law
of simplicity. This law holds that objects in the environment are seen in a way that
makes them appear as simple as possible. You see the image above as a series
of overlapping circles rather than an assortment of curved, connected lines.

2. List at least 5 ways to apply gesalt psychology in teaching
learning process.
In a learning environment, the Gestalt Theory applies to problem solving and
perception. However, it can be used in all aspects of education. A perfect example was
provided by Wertheimer himself, when he asked children to find the area of a
parallelogram. He suggested that, as long as parallelograms had a normal shape, the
children could apply the standard procedure in order to determine the area. However, if
the parallelogram had an irregular shape, children could not apply the same logic or
principles, but had to solve the problem by understanding the actual structure of the
shape.
These are implications of the Gestalt principles in the teaching and learning process.
Now you know that Gestalt principles are not just mere principles of visual drawings or
illustrations.
1. Law of Proximity
Related concepts or lessons should be taught aligned or closely to each other. This
is the reason why subtraction is taught after addition, multiplication after subtraction
then division after multiplication. Imagine teaching addition then jumping directly to
polygons.
2. Law of Similarity
Similar lessons or contents should be grouped together to make learners develop
understanding more efficiently and effectively. This is the reason why lessons are
grouped into units: Unit I is for human body, Unit II is for energy and motion, so on and
so forth.
3. Law of Closure
When a concept or topic is incomplete thus isn't "closed", incomplete information
may make learners want to discover what’s missing, rather than concentrating on the
given instruction. If students find a math algorithm confusing because a certain question
is left unanswered or a step isn't clear, they will tend to concentrate on that confused
part of the process rather than the total process as a whole. This is why students get
"lost". Thus, make the lesson complete. Present it clearly, simply and always be ready
for students' clarifications.
4. Law of Good Continuation

Lessons should be presented in such a way that learners will see these as
connected and continuous. Now you know why we have the "Review" part of the lesson
plan. This way, students will realize that their new lesson actually has continuity and is
related to what they already know or to the previous lesson.
5. Law of Pragnanz
Pragnanz states that when things are grasped as wholes, the minimal amount of
energy is exerted in thinking. In short, make your lesson holistic, complete and most of
all simple.
6. Law of Figure/Ground
For a figure to be perceived, it must stand out from the background. Emphasis
should be done on important aspects of the lesson. For example, teachers should vary
the tone of their voice or write boldly or underline the important key words of the lesson.
5-Minute non-stop writing
From the Module on Gesalt Psychology, I realized that the contributions to
the development is how our senses are capable of visual recognition of

things in a whole form and not just simple lines and curves. The psychology
formed in part by a reaction to the atomism of the structuralism school of
thought. This which was based on the focus of breaking down mental
processes. Breaking down the mental process was done until it was in their
smallest forms. The psychologist believed that behavior must be studied in
all of its complexities instead of being separately or divided. This was
because they believed that mental experiences were not simple
combinations of elements but based on one’s perceptions of patterns that
happen during an experience.
