2. What is BEHAVIORISM?
• The prediction and control of
human behavior in which
introspection and/or
independent thinking play no
essential part of its teaching
methods
3. KEY PEOPLE FOR BEHAVIORISM..
• Ivan Pavlov
• B.F. Skinner
• Albert Bandura
4. BEHAVIORISM theories
• Everything is measured
in terms of science
• Human learning is an
objective and
experimental branch of
natural science
• There is no internal
cognitive processing of
information
5. THERE IS NO
DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN MAN
AND ANIMAL
both learn to behave
solely through a
system of positive
and negative
rewards
6. • Behaviorism is also
known as the “Learning
Perspective”
• Based on acting, thinking,
and feeling
• ALL BEHAVIORS ARE
AQUIRED THROUGH
CONDITIONING
(interaction with the
environment)
7. How does the teacher show
behaviorism?
• Through POSITIVE
and NEGATIVE
reinforcement
• A student receives an
A=
“A”= that student
gets a piece of candy -------------------------------------------------------------
• A student talks while
the teacher is
talking= that student
will have an extra TALKING=
homework
assignment
8. A computer based game!
• When a student is taking a test on the
computer, the computer will tell that student
if they get the question correct or incorrect by
simply using
OR
THIS WILL ENCOURAGE THE STUDENT TO DO BETTER
USING POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE RIENFORCEMENT
9. HOW DOES A STUDENT SHOW
BEHAVIORISM?
• When a student gains a reward from doing
something well in class, that student will
continue to do well
= MORE GOOD GRADES
10. • When a student receives an A
for going above and beyond by
making a power point
presentation, that student will
most likely make a power point
presentation again for this class
11. MY OPINION on BEHAVIORISM
I believe that BEHAVIORISM is extremely
important when teaching because a teacher
needs to always give their students positive
reinforcement. It will make the students feel
good about themselves, and they will strive
for excellence in the future
