Learning Behaviours
• Behaviorist Theory
– Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike, Skinner
• Cognitive Theory
– Kohler, Gagne, Bruner, Ausubel, Piaget
• Humanistic Theory
– Maslow, Carl Rogers
• Social Theory
– Bandura
Behaviourist Theory
• Theory of
Conditioning
– With proper
Stimulus we
can get right
Response
Cognitive Theory
Bruner’s Discovery
Learning
• takes place in problem
solving situations where
the learner uses his/her
own past experience
and existing knowledge
to discover facts and
relationships.
• encourages active engagement
• promotes motivation
• promotes responsibility,
independence
• the development of creativity
and problem solving skills.
Humanistic Theory
• Maslow
– Hierarchy of
Needs
• Our actions
are motivated
by our needs.
Social theory
• Bandura
– Modeling Theory
• Attention
– have to pay attention.
• Retention
– must be able to retain –
remember.
• Reproduction
– have the ability to reproduce
the behavior.
• Motivation
– some reason for learning and
imitating.

Behaviour Problems
• Any concrete action of pupils that is
disruptive or disturbing to others;
• Hinders the smooth implementation of
teaching;
• Disturbs other pupils’ learning process.
Factors Causing Such Behaviours
• Parenting behaviours;
• Lack of parental emotional support;
• Parental lack in control of discipline;
• Some may be due disabilities.
• Problematic behaviours can be set right via behaviour
modification techniques because most behaviours are
learned.
• If problematic behaviours can be learned, then they can also
be unlearned or relearned.
TYPES OF PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOUR
DISRUPTIVE DESTRUCTIVE
OVER-DEPENDENCE
The child is
uncooperative
and prevents
himself and
other children
in class from
learning.
The child who lacks
self control and has
low self-esteem
consistently exhibits
misbehavior such as
hitting, biting and
destroying things.
Child who holds
on desperately to
others to give
them direction
and security; not
willing to let go.
Issues in the Classroom
• Attention seeking
• ‘Showing off’
• Child is bored easily
• Classroom environment not
challenging enough
• Change in situation at home
making the child insecure
• Arrival of a new sibling
• Hyperactivity
• ???
• Low self-esteem
• No mastery of skills
• Lack of social & emotional
skills to work / play with
others
• Resentful
• With-drawn and shows
insecurity
Managing Problems
How can you manage children who are
1. Disruptive?
2. Destructive?
3. Over dependent?
Select two examples and discuss how you will handle the
situation and resolve them.
4. How can you provide activities so that preschoolers
remember what they learn / what they are taught
Suggest two examples.

Memory – How Our Brain Works
• Atkinson & Shiffrin’s Memory
Process
• All inputs through our senses >
short term memory > goes into
long term memory to recall later
(repeat many times to remember
and store properly)
Forget - Remember
How can you provide activities so that
preschoolers remember what they learn / what
they are taught
Suggest two examples.
