Behaviorism
A  theory of learning based upon the idea
  that all behaviors are acquired through
  conditioning.
 Behaviorists assert that the only behaviors
  worthy of study are those that can be
  directly observed. Like actions, rather
  than thoughts or emotions, which are the
  legitimate object of study.
Behaviorism
   There are two different types of conditioning.
       Classical Conditioning: behavioral training in
        which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired
        with a response.
       Operant Conditioning: learning that occurs
        through rewards and punishment for behavior.



                                Back to menu
Theorist
   Burrhus Frederic Skinner (B.F Skinner)-
    chairman of the psychology department at
    Indiana University.
   His entire theory is based on operant
    conditioning.
   In operant conditioning: “the behavior is
    followed by a consequence, and the nature
    of the consequence modifies the organisms
    tendency to repeat the behavior in the
    future.”
   Imagine a rat in a cage (“Skinner Box”)
Theorist
   Continuous reinforcement is every time the rat
    does a good behavior it gets a reward.
   Skinner was the first to discover the fixed ratio
    schedule.
       a fixed ratio between behaviors and reinforcers.



                     Back to menu
In the Classroom
   Teachers could use this theory to their
    advantage.
   Teachers can use operant conditioning all the
    time.
   When a student does something good or
    maybe gets a question right they will get a
    reward.
   When a student does something bad they will
    get punished or get something taken away.
In the Classroom
 Classical
          conditioning is better learned
  than taught.
 When something good happens they will
  have a good response.
 For example, if the student gets a good
  grade on a test then the student is happy
  and has a boost of confidence. That
  confidence is their response.
                 Back to menu
My Classroom
 If a student gets a question right I will
  reward them with candy or a trip to the
  treasure box.
 If a student does good on a test then they
  can receive a few more minutes on the
  computers.
 In my classroom I will keep things equal. A
  student will only receive what they
  deserve.
My Classroom
   Behaviorism is not just rewards. There are also
    punishments. In my class if a student does
    something bad then they will be punished.
   If a student does not complete their
    homework then they cannot play at recess.
   If a student acts out in class they will have to
    move their clip. If they move it too much
    there will be a phone call home.
