CONCEPTUALIZATION OF MY IDEAL HUMANISTIC CLASSROOM. 

# data[].attributes.body
Entering this English classroom feels warm and welcoming. Soft, calming colors cover the walls, with motivational quotes about creativity and growth. Circular tables replace rows of desks for group discussions. A reading corner with cushions and beanbags encourages independent reading. A technology station with laptops and headphones supports self-directed learning. A creativity wall displays students’, poems, reflections, and artwork. Plants and soft background music create calmness and focus. This classroom combines academic learning with emotional expression, reflection, and student choice.

This design aligns with Maslow (1968), who emphasized environments that support self-actualization and personal growth. Rogers (1961), argued education should nurture the whole person, promoting authenticity and self-expression. Wintermute (2019), highlights ethical development, empathy, and altruism, which support a safe and caring classroom culture.

COMPARISON WITH CONSTRUCTIVIMS AND CONNECTIVISM.

Unlike constructivism, which emphasizes knowledge construction through experience (Piaget, 1972), and connectivism, which focuses on learning through digital networks (Siemens, 2005), a humanistic classroom prioritizes emotional well-being, self-actualization, and holistic growth. Humanism nurtures intellectual, emotional, social, and ethical development, creating autonomous and empathetic learners.

Maslow (1968) emphasizes personal growth and self-actualization. Rogers (1961), stresses authentic, self-expression. Wintermute (2019) supports empathy, ethical development and responsibility, making humanism distinct from approaches that focus mainly on cognition or networks.
