BEHAVIORISM

2. Overview of Behaviorism
Definition
Explains how external
stimuli shape behavior
through rewards and
punishments.
Key Principles
Emphasizes the
importance of
conditioning,
reinforcement, and
behavior modification.
Advantages
Offers a systematic
approach to teaching and
learning based on
observable results.

3. Key Historical Figures
Ivan Pavlov
Russian physiologist known
for his experiments on
classical conditioning with
dogs.
B.F. Skinner
American psychologist who
developed the theory of
operant conditioning and the
concept of reinforcement.
John Watson
American psychologist
considered the founder of
behaviorism and known for his
"Little Albert" experiment.

4. Philosophy of Education
1 Learning Objectives
Focuses on the attainment
of specific behavioral
outcomes and measurable
goals.
2 Learner-Centered
Approach
Views students as active
participants in their own
learning, who respond to
stimuli and can be guided
through reinforcement.
3 Individual Differences
Recognizes the importance of addressing individual needs and
adapting teaching methods accordingly.

5. Methods of Teaching
Direct Instruction
Teacher-led approach with
clear objectives, step-by-step
explanations, and immediate
feedback.
Behavioral Modeling
Using demonstrations and
examples to guide students
in acquiring new behaviors
and skills.
Behavioral
Interventions
Utilizing strategies like
positive reinforcement and
punishment to modify and
shape student behavior.

6. Role of Teacher
1 Facilitator
Creates a conducive
environment to initiate and
reinforce desired behaviors.
2 Observer
Monitors and assesses
student behaviors, providing
feedback and guidance
when necessary.
3 Curriculum Designer
Designs instructional materials and activities aligned with behavioral
learning objectives.

7. Major Contribution in Education
1 Classical Conditioning
Ivan Pavlov's experiments laid the
foundation for understanding how
conditioned stimuli can elicit desired
responses in learners.
2
Operant Conditioning
B.F. Skinner's concepts of
reinforcement and punishment
revolutionized educational practices,
encouraging positive behavior and
discouraging negative behavior.
3 Behavior Modification
Behaviorism's techniques for
modifying behavior have become
instrumental in addressing a wide
range of learning and behavioral
challenges.

8. Criticism
1 Focus on External Factors
Behaviorism disregards the influence of internal factors such as cognition, emotions,
and individual differences.
2 Overemphasis on Conditioning
Solely focusing on external rewards and punishments may undermine intrinsic
motivation and creativity.
3 Insufficient Attention to Social Aspects
Behaviorism overlooks the role of social interaction and cultural context in the learning process.
