After discussing this lesson, reflect on the following questions:

1. Identify which among the foundations of curriculum, has influenced what you
have learned in school as a college student?

College curriculum can be influenced by the curricular underpinnings, including

models and educational philosophies. Students' educational experience may be
shaped, for instance, if a college embraces a progressive education philosophy
and places a high value on experiential learning and critical thinking.

2. How will the thinking of Abraham Maslow influence your teaching practice in
the future?

The theory of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs can have an impact on

instructional strategies. This approach helps teachers recognize that before
children can participate completely in learning, their basic needs must be
satisfied. In order to make students feel safe and inspired to learn, teachers can
establish a welcoming and inclusive classroom atmosphere.

3. Do you agree with Alvin Toffler?

Toffler was known for his work on future shock, the information age, and the
concept of "prosumers." I agree with his ideas on the rapid pace of technological
change and its effects on individuals and societies, as well as the importance of
adapting and preparing for these changes. Because I believe that his insights are
valid and valuable in understanding and navigating our modern world.
