Behaviorism is a learning theory based on observable behaviors and the relationship between environmental stimuli and responses. Key contributors include Ivan Pavlov, who studied classical conditioning in dogs, and B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning using positive reinforcement with pigeons. In behaviorism, learning is shaped by consequences rather than internal mental states. The teacher's role is to provide stimuli and positive reinforcement to motivate learning, while students work for rewards and respond to environmental factors.
behavioral theory formed the basis of most of the learning theory applied in child rearing and in classrooms. Parents and teachers still find that, in many instances, individuals do learn when provided with the appropriate blend of stimuli, rewards, negative reinforcement, and punishments. Especially with small children and simpler tasks, behavioral principles are often effective.
Eventually, however, educators began to feel that although stimulus-response does explain many human behaviors and has a legitimate place in instruction, behaviorism alone was not sufficient to explain all the phenomena observed in learning situations. The teacher’s are able to use this approach but they have to consider about the weaknesses and try to solve the weaknesses.
All things should be looked at from the perspective of behaviour.
And it doesn’t matter what is going on in the mind, it just matters what the behaviour
So there is no difference in the behaviourist mind between external behaviour and internal thoughts.

Behavioral psychology, also known as behaviorism, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Advocated by famous psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, behavioral theories dominated psychology during the early half of the twentieth century. Today, behavioral techniques are still widely used in therapeutic settings to help clients learn new skills and behaviors

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. The theory is based on observable behaviors. It
describes how all learning and behaviors are directly
correlated with environmental stimuli. It can be a
stimulus causing a response by having with it put with
a trigger. An example of this would be a dog salivating
when they hear a bell that he correlates with food.
Another concept of this theory is to reward a reaction
with a having a stimuli. A dog pushing a button to
release food would be a good example for this. In
addition, behaviorists do not believe that there is any
difference between humans and animals because both
can be trained by using positive and negative rewards.
3. Ivan Pavlov is known for using dogs for
behavioral tests. He used a bell to teach the
dogs to know that food was being given and it
resulted in the dogs salivating while waiting
for the food. This became known as classical
conditioning.
4. B.F. Skinner founded behavioral, or operant,
conditioning. He used pigeons with his experiments.
After giving the pigeons rewards when they do a
specific activity, they learned that they must to that all
the time to get the reward. Skinner even taught the
pigeons to dance and bowl! He believed that positive
reinforcement ultimately forms peoples’ behaviors. He
also believed that behaviors would be released if the
response were negative.
Another person associated with this theory is Albert
Bandura who became well known for the Social
Cognitive Theory. Instead of just focusing on how the
environment affects behavior, he found that
motivational factors also play a key part of a person’s
behavior. An example of this would be people
imitating behaviors that they would observe.
5. Teacher’s Role in Behaviorism:
- Motivates and facilitates learning
- Actively keeps students participating
- Provides the stimulus (which may be the
lesson plan, theme, or subject matter at hand)
- Provides positive reinforcement
6. Provides the stimulus:
- Teachers should present material in small portions
- Teachers should use repetition and lots of practice
Provides positive reinforcement
- Teachers should offer rewards for correct responses;
this may be through:
a) Stickers (for younger)
b) Special recognition or duties (elementary)
c) Bonus points (middle – high school)
Technology: many software programs provide
rewards, such as mini-games for answering questions
correctly; Also, using computer time (which is exciting
for students) as a reward will provide positive
feedback and integrate technology to the class
7. Students Role in Behaviorism:
Children work for rewards of some sort.
Their behavior is diverse based on their
environmental surroundings, thus children respond
differently.
Children respond to stimuli.
8. Many computer programs reward the student
when an answer is correct or a goal is reached.
Children use the internet to play math games and
quiz their selves on books they have read. Many
times they receive a physical prize from the school
for getting so many points in these games.
Technology has enthused children to like learning
and under the behaviorist theory children are
working for their reward while doing something
they like and avoiding punishment.
9. We think that Pavlov’s classical conditioning
behavioral experiments and learning theory is
important to study before teaching our own
class. There is much to be learned from
Pavlov’s theory that can be applied to our
classroom. It can be used to help students
follow good behavior and can also be used to
help anxiety and fear that students may face in
a classroom.
10. Good behavior can be enforced using Pavlov’s theory of classical
conditioning. Actions such as students raising their hand to speak
could be considered one example of classical conditioning. Students
realize after given time that when they want to speak they will only be
recognized after they have raised their hand. We, as teachers, could
also use classical conditioning to help influence good behavior in the
classroom. When students complete their homework they will be
given a star, then when they reach 10 stars, they can be given a
reward. Eventually, students get in the habit of doing homework
without having to be rewarded all the time. It will also encourage the
students, who would not normally do their homework, to want to
complete their homework and receive stars.
