1. Behaviorism
BY: SHEREE MAE N. PLAZA

2. Why to teach
•Behaviorist schools are concerned with the
modification and shaping of students’
behavior by providing for a favorable
environment, since they believe that they are
a product of their environment. They are
after students who exhibit desirable behavior
in society.

3. What to teach
•Because behaviorists look at “people and
other animals… as complex combinations of
matter that act only in response to internally
or externally generated physical stimuli,”
behaviorist teachers teach students to
respond favorably to various stimuli in the
environment.

4. How to teach
• Behaviorist teachers “ought to arrange environmental
conditions so that students can make the responses to stimuli.
Physical variables like light, temperature, arrangement of
furniture, size and quantity of visual aids have to be controlled
to get the desired responses from the learners. Teachers
ought to make the stimuli clear and interesting to capture
and hold the learner’s attention. They ought to provide
appropriate incentives to reinforce positive responses and
weaken or eliminate negative ones.” (Trespeces, 1995)
