Through a simple story which could happen in our daily lives, I am demonstrating strengths and weaknesses of behaviorism in the classroom based on what I learned about behaviorism. Part2: It explains what happened later in classroom. It also analyzes the pros and cons of applying behaviorism in teaching and its impact on students' performance.

2. Students who were able
to get their tasks done got
a gift card.
They are now motivated
to make more complex
mind map which
will help them in the future
to be more organized
and productive.

3. Strengths:
 Making the task easy by breaking down the steps.
 Encouraging students to master their
task by providing a feedback and reward.

4. But what about other
students who were not
able to finish the task?!!

5. Student 1
This student got frustrated because
she has some difficulty in drawing a circle.
Every time she draws a circle,
the teacher would ask her
to erase it and draw a correct one.
This student has a good skill
in drawing on computer.
If she draws by computer,
she would draw better
than what was trying to do, as long as the aim
is to know how to create a mind map.

6. Drawback 1:
Behaviorism focus only on specific pattern
of Evaluation.

7. Student 2
This student drew a mind map,
but she drew different shapes instead of circles
like “harts and tringles.
The teacher insisted that student has to
master this basic shape.
Actually, there are multiple ways to create
a mind map.
Behaviorism wants learners to learn by a
particular view of learning.

8. Drawback 2:
Behaviorism has no place for
learner’s creativity.
