Analysis of Needs Against the Development of a Humanistic Teaching-Based Competency Model among Middle School Teachers

Abstract

This needs analysis study was conducted to assess the extent of secondary school teachers' understanding of humanistic teaching elements and whether they apply these elements during teaching and learning activities. The humanistic teaching approach is crucial and should be embraced by every teacher to cultivate individuals with high human values. The development of a Humanistic Teaching-Based Competency Model is significant as it will serve as a guide for teachers during teaching and learning sessions. The purpose of this study is to identify the necessity for developing a Humanistic Competency Model specifically for teachers in secondary schools. This study employs a qualitative methodology. The study involves interviews with seven teachers selected through purposive sampling from a heterogeneous group classified by gender, job position, and teaching experience. Data analysis was performed through the transcription of audio recordings. The analysis revealed a strong interpretation of the need for developing the Humanistic Competency Model in secondary schools to assist teachers in utilizing this model as a guide in their daily teaching and learning activities.
