Reinforcement of Positive Behavior The teacher gives compliment and honor to
the learner for showing positive behavior in
the class
Analysis
1. What is the basis of the classroom organization and routine?
Their classroom rules and regulations are based on School Journal of Abellana
National School. Behavior of the learner is one of the basis of organization and
routine. Also, the area of the classroom affects the organization of the
structures.
2. Cite certain theory that can support your answer. Share your insights with your
classmates during class.
Skinner’s S-R theory, When routines are designed to be a habit in class
then the Law of Exercise should be practiced combined with Pavlov’s Higher
Order Conditioning, where the teacher can use different kinds of neutral stimulus
to become the conditioned stimulus for the students. Added the positive
reinforcement, such as feedback or verbal praises, from the findings of Skinner
then the routine the teacher designs will be a very effective one.

3. Reflection
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade/year
level do you see yourself in? What routines and procedures would you consider
for this level?
If I would be a teacher, I will prefer to teach in Fourth year class because
at this stage, they are more mature than in lower level. They are still
manageable though they are independent, they can work in their own with out
being told by the teacher. I would impose routines like cleaning inside and
outside the classroom before and after the class, prayer and checking the
attendance, and also the rules and regulations to be followed strictly so that
there would be a smooth flow of teaching-learning process.
2. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
Yes, students should also be involved in making the class rules so that it
would be clear to them and they will understand the importance of the rules and
regulations. Also, it woul be easy for them to follow since they are the one
creating the rules.
