Behaviorism is a learning theory introduced by B.F. Skinner that focuses on observable behaviors and responses to stimuli. Learning is viewed as the acquisition of new behaviors through conditioning, whether classical conditioning of innate reflexes or operant conditioning using reinforcement and punishment. In a classroom, behaviorism would shape student behavior quickly using positive or negative feedback, allow students to adapt to the environment, and allow teachers to measure behavior. The document provides examples of how behaviorism could be applied in a classroom through rewards, stickers, and tests.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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?
Behaviorism is a
developmental theory
primarily introduced by
B.F Skinner
It measures observable
behaviors produced by a
learners response to
stimuli
Responses to stimuli can
be reinforced with positive
or negative feedback
Punishment is often used
in eliminating or reducing
incorrect actions
4. What is Behaviorism? Cont.
In behaviorism, learning is
the acquisition of new
behavior through
conditioning
There are two types of
conditioning; classical and
operant conditioning
Classical conditioning is
when the behavior
becomes a reflex response
to a stimulus ( picture to
the right)
Operant conditioning is
when there is
reinforcement of the
behavior by reward or
punishment
5. B.F Skinner
Burrhus Frederic Skinner was born
and raised in Susquehanna,
Pennslyvania.
At the age of 24 he applied and
was accepted to the psychology
program at Harvard
As Skinner experimented with rats
he noticed that the responses he
was recording were influenced by
not only what preceded them, but
what followed them as well
Skinner differed from other
behaviorist during that time
because his main focus was what
occurred after a behavior noting
that the effects or repercussions
of an action could influence an
organisms learning
By 1931 he had his PhD in
psychology and was well on his
way to developing operant
conditioning
6. B.F Skinner Cont.
Skinner continued to do
research at Harvard until 1936
In 1945 Skinner moved to
Bloomington, Indiana where
he served as the chair of the
psycology department until
1948 when he was offered a
position as Harvard
Skinner remained at Harvard
for the rest of career
During the 1950’s and 1960’s
Skinner published and
experimented extensively
1957 he published his book
Verbal Behavior
7. How would it be observed in the
classroom?
The purpose of behaviorism
is to shape behavior (geared
towards a certain outcome)
by using positive or negative
feedback.
Reasons that this would be
beneficial in a classroom is
that it:
1) shapes behavior quickly
2) learner adapts to the
environment
3) behavior can be measured
8. How would it be observed in the
classroom? Cont.
An example of how behaviorism
would be used in the classroom to
shape behavior quickly could involve
a teacher giving “on-time” points to
students that arrived to class on
time that allowed them to purchase
something from the school store.
An example of how behaviorism
allows the learner to adapt would be
that students learn to write in their
journals every day for this they
would receive a sticker
An example of how behaviorism
allows the teacher to measure
behavior would be students taking
tests to whether or not they could
answer the questions correctly.
9. Behaviorism in my classroom
I am a main supporter of behaviorism in the classroom
and will be using this learning theory daily.
I plan to incorporate behaviorism in my own class from
the very first day.
I believe that this learning theory is most effective in
gaining a desired outcome from students.
I hope that I can incorporate behaviorism in my
classroom in a very fun way!
10. Behaviorism in my classroom
continued
Some ways I wish to incorporate behaviorism in my
classroom is by having certain rewards set up around
the school year that students may or may not earn
depending on their behavior.
An example of this could be students will receive a
special reward after receiving 10 A’s in a row on
multiplication quizzes
Another example could include the student that
observed the best behavior that week will be allowed
special privileges for the following week ( such as line
leader, teacher’s helper, etc.)
