Humanism
A method of a holistic teaching. Have a strong focus on students emotional wellbeing and eternally view children as innately good 'at the core'
4 philosophical pillars of Humanism are free will, emotions impact learning, intrinsic motivation, and innate goodness.
Duchesne & McMaugh (2016, p. 263) argue that humanist theorists “consider the broad needs of children, including not just cognitive but also social and emotional needs.
Veugelers (2011, p. 1) argues that humanist education “focuses on developing rationality, autonomy, empowerment, creativity, affections and a concern for humanity."
Khatib, Sarem and Hamidi (2013, p. 45) argue that humanist education “emphasizes the importance of the inner world of the learner and places the individual’s thought, emotions and feelings at the forefront of all human development."
Humanists argued that people should stop seeing learner as not functional or 'in deficit'. They believe that learners can bring out their best self through education.
Humanist also believed that learners are not control solely by punishments and rewards that was pushed by the Behaviorist approach.
To Humanist every behaviour that the learner show have their own factors that effect that particular behaviour. For example, a student is not sleeping in class for no reason, they might have a problem at home that effects their sleeping pattern which resulting in them sleeping in class.
According to Humanist people in general are good, they do bad things because they are nurtured in the wrong way.
According to Abraham Maslow, human have a fundamental things that they considered as a need in order to be fulfilled in live. Thus he came out his the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. 
In education, the hierarchy can be seen in situations like the need for food and water which falls in Physiological Needs. In the school we can see that RMT and Program Susu Sekolah (PSS) is implemented.
In the terms of Belongingness Needs in the classroom, teacher may create a display wall to have exemplary artworks or infographics that the students made to ensure they feel included and belong.
Assessment implemented in school can also cater Maslow's Esteem Needs in the classroom. For example, the teacher promotes self-belief and hand out complements when they do or say something that is praiseworthy. This could ensure the student to try more and encourage other students to attempt the tasks given.
Carl Rogers believes that the key concepts of Humanism in education are: actualizing tendency, freedom to learn, unconditional positive regard, facilitation, and intrinsic motivation

Example of this theory can be seen in classroom are the teacher ask the students not only how they want to learn but what they want to learn which encourage the students to make choices. Other than that, the teacher facilitate the learning process rather than teach in front of the class by creating the right environment for the students to explore.
