Behaviorism is a learning theory based on the idea that behavior is shaped through consequences like rewards and punishments, and focuses on observable behaviors and actions rather than internal mental states; key contributors to behaviorism include Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura; according to behaviorism, teachers can use rewards and punishments to encourage positive behaviors in students and discourage negative behaviors.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. WHAT IS BEHAVIORISM?
• Learner starts with a clean slate
• Behavior develops through +/- rewards
•Operates on principle of “stimulus-response”
o Positive behavior- applying a stimulus
o Negative behavior- withdrawing a stimulus
•“Learning” is changing your behavior
http://www.learning-theories.com/behaviorism.html
4. WHAT IS BEHAVIORISM?
• Experimentation mostly takes place with animals
• In education, teacher has dominance
• Learners success is based on actions
• Can be used for classroom management
o Prevent or solve discipline problems

5. WHO DEVELOPED BEHAVIORISM?
Ivan Pavlov
• Famous Russian psychologist and physiologist
•Biggest contribution was Classical Conditioning
o Theory suggesting how behavior is learned
• Behavioral experiments with dogs
• Taught dogs to salivate
o By ringing a bell and providing food
o Then salivate only by hearing the bell
• Received a Nobel Prize for his contribution to Science
http://www.psyonline.nl/hof/en-pavlov.htm
6. WHO DEVELOPED BEHAVIORISM?
Albert Bandura
• Social Cognitive Theory
o Motivational factors that contribute to behavior
• Observational Modeling
o People observe others behaviors
o Then imitate what they observe
• Later joined the Cognitivist
o Way people think affects their behavior

World
7. WHO DEVELOPED BEHAVIORISM?
B.F. Skinner
• American Behaviorist
• Behavioral/Operant Conditioning
o Shapes behavior through reinforcement of stimulus-response
patterns
• Conducted experiments with pigeons
o Taught them how to dance, bowl
o Stimulus pattern occurred, then pigeon was rewarded
•Believed human behavior could work the same way

8. HOW WOULD TEACHERS USE BEHAVIORISM IN
THE CLASSROOM?
• Teachers would reward students for positive behavior
o Praise, extra recess, or gold star
o Technology- give computer time
• Have consequences for negative behavior
o Take away time at recess, take away star
o Technology- take away computer time
• Can also use to encourage learning
o Play “game” where if they answer right, they obtain a
point
o If they answer wrong they don’t get a point
o This will encourage them to study, to get more points
9. HOW WOULD STUDENTS USE BEHAVIORISM IN
THE CLASSROOM?
• Students don’t have much control
o teacher has dominance
•They obtain +/- rewards based on their behavior
• Through this they learn proper behavior
• Students can also change students behavior
o They can threaten to tell the teacher, if a student is
being bad
o Since, the student won’t want to be in trouble, the
action will stop.

10. WOULD I USE BEHAVIORISM IN MY
CLASSROOM?
• I would definitely use behaviorism
• When doing service learning, my teacher used
behaviorism
o I saw the effectiveness, it was unbelievable!
o They immediately stopped bad behavior
o Encouraged good behavior
• She used:
o Positive- warm fuzzies, fake money
o Negative- took out a warm fuzzy, took away money,
made students sit out at recess
11. WOULD I USE BEHAVIORISM IN MY
CLASSROOM?
• I think it’s a great way to keep order in the classroom
• It’s also effective for elementary all the way to high school
•I would use behaviorism to help motivate students
o to do right thing
o and to pay attention, focus
• I will use things such as:
o extra/less recess
o add/take away fuzzy or star
o add/subtract computer time
