This document provides an overview of behaviorism as an educational theory. It defines behaviorism as measuring and observing how learners respond to stimuli. Reinforcements like rewards and punishments are used to encourage desired behaviors. Learners acquire knowledge through repetitive practice and reinforcement rather than understanding concepts. The document also notes key figures in behaviorism like Pavlov, Skinner, and Bandura. It discusses applying behaviorism in the classroom through techniques like drill/practice, memorization, and classroom management. Personal views expressed support using behaviorism to teach students effective learning strategies through repeated practice.

3. WHAT IS BEHAVIORISM?
 Behaviorism is a theory that measures and observes the behaviors of a learner
after being introduced to a stimuli.
 According to behaviorism, knowing is giving the correct response when
exposed to a particular stimulus.

4. WHAT IS BEHAVIORISM?
• In this theory the learner is not so much concern with how or why they got the
answer but more so if it correct or not.
• Educational effects of behaviorism are key in developing basic skills.

5. HOW IS BEHAVIORISM ENFORCED?
• Negative or positive feedback can be given to the learner based on their
response to the stimuli.
• The approach of using positive and negative reinforcements to elicit desired
behaviors of students is also useful in establishing and maintaining classroom
management.

6. HOW IS BEHAVIORISM ENFORCED?
• Reward with compliments and/or treats when desired behavior is shown.
• Give constructive criticism with behavior is not desired.

7. HOW DO LEARNERS LEARN THRU BEHAVIORISM?
• The learner uses low level processing skills to understand material and the
material is often isolated from real-world contexts or situations.
• Very little responsibility is given to the learner concerning their own
education.

8. BEHAVIORISM IN THE CLASSROOM.
• classroom management
• drill and practice
• rote memorization

9. BEHAVIORISM IN THE CLASSROOM
• Can be used with or without technology.
• Be able to give detailed feed back so that students are aware of what they
are doing correct or what mistakes they are making.

10. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BEHAVIORISM?
• Ivan Pavlov- Known for his behavioral experiment with dogs and won the
Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1904.
• B.F. Skinner- Conducted a theory he called Operant Conditioning with
pigeons where he reared them for desired behavior.
• Albert Bandura – Know for his ideas on Social Learning that he renamed
Social Cognitive Theory.

11. PERSONAL VIEWS OF BEHAVIORISM.
I think that Behaviorism is a great way to train students how to learn and/or study.
Students whom don’t know the correct way to retain information will benefit from
this theory because it will teach them the correct way to learn thru practice and
repetition, the student will learn thru behavior which is kind of like muscle memory
for the brain.

12. PERSONAL VIEWS OF BEHAVIORISM.
In order to incorporate Behaviorism in my classroom I
would:
• I would allow students to gain extra points on quizzes and tests by
allowing to explain why the choose the answer they did, what is the
correct answer, and why did they choose the new answer.
• This will encourage to study before the test so they won’t have to do twice
the work after the text.

13. PERSONAL VIEWS OF BEHAVIORISM.
• I will always have the students do a brain teaser or bell ringer at the beginning
of class.
• This will discourage students from coming in to class and putting their heads down
and/or getting distracted by conversation with each other.

14. PERSONAL VIEWS OF BEHAVIORISM.
• Reward my students not just for good grades but also for good behavior.
• This will help students understand that their behavior can affect not only their grade
but how the progress in the real world.
