Maslow and the Evidence
Captions available
The idea
Maslow's hierarchy is a contested classic: research has found little support for a strict sequence of needs, and the theory is criticized for its subjective nature.
In practice
Teachers can still use it as a reminder that hunger and fear block learning.
Where people slip
Teach the hierarchy and the evidence together; knowing the model is not endorsing its strict order.
