Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relatedness refers to the need for social connectedness and belonging, and the lack of friendship suggests that this need is not being met for Miguel. This can have a negative impact on his learning, as he may feel isolated and disengaged in the classroom. Autonomy refers to the need for control over one's own actions and decisions, competence refers to the need for mastery and achievement, and safety refers to the need for physical and emotional safety and security, which may all be important for learning but are not directly related to Miguel's lack of social connection.
