Why did this happen? What a tough question to answer. Why do

3. According to The Behavioral perspective,” a theory focusing on
learning the observable actions over mental process, focusing
on shaping and conditioning ones actions and ones reactions” (
McCarthy et Al.2016).
Being a psychologist we can use this theory to evaluate reasons
for the cause of this event, and the effect it is having on these
students.
The social learning theory- “ learning is not an isolated,
individual activity. Learning is a social process” ( McCarthy et.
Al. 2016). I would ask the students .. why do you believe this
happened? And wait for responses from the students. Was he an
outcast? Was he bullied? Did he have a bad home life? And just
wait for answers.
Lastly, examine the issue of personal responsibility. Defend
your position by generalizing some of the pros and cons that
might be associated with each of your recommended strategies
Pros- students can express their feelings openly. Professional
help can be given to the students and staff , when friends and
family are harder to talk to. They have the responsibility of
their own actions. Choosing to get help or not to get help.
Cons- a lot of students won’t open up with their feelings l,
keeping them bottled up and losing trust is the environment and
friends around them . They can begin to shut down.

Some strategies a teacher could use are resiliency training and
social interaction with students. Training a person how to be
more resilient is not just for adults but can prove useful in
children as well. As with many other things, learning something
at a younger age provides more knowledge earlier and a skill
that can be perfected over time. Resiliency focuses on how to

5. battle stressors in life from a different perspective, providing
guidance in sorting through to find positivity in a situation to
enable a person to focus on a solution rather than dwell in
negativity. It also allows them to approach situations with more
clear thought by rationalizing instead of simply reacting
impulsively. Tailoring lessons to involve more social activity
among students and the teacher can help provide real feedback
and insight of what may be going on in the classroom. Through
the social interaction, it may also help to identify issues that
may require immediate attention and the teachers are not
working by themselves to identify, these issues can be
identified by other students.
The strategies before can also be used in coping with these
horrible events. Getting things out into the open may inspire
students to share their feelings and hopefully encourage others
to do so that may have been hesitant.
Providing an answer to why this happened may not be exact but
there are theories that can help provide some light on the issue.
Social learning theory helped to influence the development of
social constructivism, which demonstrates how individuals
interact within a culture and knowledge is exchanged in formal
and informal ways (McCarthy, DeLisi, Getzfeld, McCarthy,
Moss-King, Mossler, Privitera, Spence, Walker, Weinberg &
Youssef-Morgan, 2016). Basically, they learn from their
environment and this can sway a person either way due to the
type of interaction. Negative interactions will foster more
negative results and positive will generally create more positive
results.
