    Gestalt psychology looks at how the human mind perceives things as whole systems rather than isolated parts. It focuses on the functions of our brain and how we naturally describe one thing and see it as a whole unified object. Some key principles of Gestalt psychology include proximity, similarity, figure-ground, continuity, and closure - how our minds group related objects and place some in the foreground and others in the background. Applying Gestalt psychology can help teachers guide students to think of situations and items as parts of a larger whole system rather than just separate components.
