Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning.
Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment.
Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions.
Learning is a mental action: When information enters the brain, is manipulated, stored and used it when it’s needed. Cognitivism is a learning theory that defines learning as a semi-permanent change in mental process associations. Learning takes place through observation and sensorial experiences.
Mental activity is the primary focus or learning. Learning occurs when connections are made between old and new information in meaningful interactions. Learning is measured by how one thinks, not how one behaves. Prior knowledge plays and important role in the learning process.
All things should be looked at from the perspective of behaviour.
And it doesn’t matter what is going on in the mind, it just matters what the behaviour
So there is no difference in the behaviourist mind between external behaviour and internal thoughts.

Cognition is defined as 'the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. ' At Cambridge Cognition we look at it as the mental processes relating to the input and storage of information and how that information is then used to guide your behavior

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.

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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.

Fernando Rubio
University of Huelva, Spain
(Sources are in slide 40)
3. Definitions: Learning is:
1. “a persisting change in human performance or
performance potential . . . (brought) about as a result of
the learner’s interaction with the environment” (Driscoll, 1994,
pp. 8-9).
2. “the relatively permanent change in a person’s
knowledge or behavior due to experience” (Mayer, 1982, p.
1040).
3. “an enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity
to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice
or other forms of experience” (Shuell, 1986, p. 412).
4. Learning Theory
Q: How do people learn?
A: Nobody really knows.
But there are 6 main theories:
Behaviorism
Cognitivism
Social Learning Theory
Social Constructivism
Multiple Intelligences
Brain-Based Learning
9. Behaviorism
• Learning is defined by the outward expression of new behaviors
• Focuses solely on observable behaviors
• A biological basis for learning
• Learning is context-independent
• Classical & Operant Conditioning
• Reflexes (Pavlov’s Dogs)
• Feedback/Reinforcement (Skinner’s Pigeon Box)
10. Behaviorism in the
Classroom
• Rewards and
punishments
• Responsibility for
student learning rests
squarely with the
teacher
• Lecture-based, highly
structured
11. Critiques of Behaviorism
• Does not account for processes taking place in the mind that cannot be
observed
• Advocates for passive student learning in a teacher-centric environment
• One size fits all
• Knowledge itself is given and absolute
• Programmed instruction & teacher-proofing
13. Cognitivism
• Grew in response to Behaviorism
• Knowledge is stored cognitively as symbols
• Learning is the process of connecting symbols in a meaningful &
memorable way
• Studies focused on the mental processes that facilitate symbol
connection
15. Cognitive Learning Theory
Discovery Learning
1. Bruner said anybody can learn anything at
any age, provided it is stated in terms
they can understand.
16. Cognitive Learning Theory
Discovery Learning
2. Powerful Concepts (not isolated facts)
a. Transfer to many different situations
b. Only possible through Discovery Learning
c. Confront the learner with problems and help
them find solutions. Do not present
sequenced materials.
17. Cognitive Learning Theory
Meaningful Verbal Learning
Advance Organizers:
New material is
presented in a
systematic way, and
is connected to
existing cognitive
structures in a
meaningful way.
18. Cognitive Learning Theory
Meaningful Verbal Learning
When learners have
difficulty with new
material, go back to
the concrete anchors
(Advance Organizers).
Provide a Discovery
approach, and they’ll
learn.
19. Cognitivism in the Classroom
• Inquiry-oriented projects
• Opportunities for the testing of
hypotheses
• Curiosity encouraged
• Staged scaffolding
20. Critiques of Cognitivism
• Like Behaviorism, knowledge itself is given and absolute
• Input – Process – Output model is mechanistic and
deterministic
• Does not account enough for individuality
• Little emphasis on affective characteristics
22. Social Learning Theory (SLT)
• Grew out of Cognitivism
• A. Bandura (1973)
• Learning takes place through observation and sensorial
experiences
• Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
• SLT is the basis of the movement against violence in media &
video games
23. Social Learning Theory
Learning From Models -
Albert Bandura
1. Attend to pertinent clues
2. Code for memory (store a visual image)
3. Retain in memory
4. Accurately reproduce the observed
activity
5. Possess sufficient motivation to apply
new learning
24. Social Learning Theory
Research indicates that the following factors
influence the strength of learning from models:
1. How much power the model seems to have
2. How capable the model seems to be
3. How nurturing (caring) the model seems to be
4. How similar the learner perceives self and
model
5. How many models the learner observes
25. Social Learning Theory
Four interrelated processes establish and
strengthen identification with the model:
1. Children want to be like the model
2. Children believe they are like the
model
3. Children experience emotions like
those the model is feeling.
4. Children act like the model.
26. Social Learning Theory
Through identification, children come to believe they have the
same characteristics as the model.
When they identify with a nurturant and
competent model, children feel pleased and
proud.
When they identify with an inadequate model,
children feel unhappy and insecure.
27. SLT in the Classroom
• Collaborative learning and
group work
• Modeling responses and
expectations
• Opportunities to observe
experts in action
28. Critiques of Social Learning
Theory
• Does not take into account individuality, context, and experience
as mediating factors
• Suggests students learn best as passive receivers of sensory
stimuli, as opposed to being active learners
• Emotions and motivation not considered important or connected
to learning
29. Social Constructivism
• Grew out of and in response to Cognitivism, framed
around metacognition
• Knowledge is actively constructed
• Learning is…
• A search for meaning by the learner
• Contextualized
• An inherently social activity
• Dialogic and recursive
• The responsibility of the learner
• Lev Vygotsky
• Social Learning
• Zone of Proximal Development
30. Social Constructivism in the
Classroom
• Journaling
• Experiential activities
• Personal focus
• Collaborative & cooperative
learning
31. Critiques of Social
Constructivism
• Suggests that knowledge is neither given nor absolute
• Often seen as less rigorous than traditional approaches to
instruction
• Does not fit well with traditional age grouping and rigid
terms/semesters
32. Humanist
• All students are intrinsically motivated to self actualize or
learn
• Learning is dependent upon meeting a hierarchy of needs
(physiological, psychological and intellectual)
• Learning should be reinforced.
Editor's Notes
First Order Classical Conditioning:
S = Stimulus(bell)
US = Unconditioned Stimulus (food)
UR = Unconditioned Response (saliva)
CS = Conditioned Stimulus (bell)
CR = Conditioned Reponse (saliva)
Biological basis for learning – you have it or you don’t…it’s a thing you inherit
Grew in response to Behaviorism in an effort to better understand the mental processes behind learning
An example of a powerful concept is addition. Instead of drilling facts
1 + 1 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
into people’s heads, teach them the CONCEPT of addition.
New material is related to something they already know!
.
Staged scaffolding: not based on ability or experience…based on developmental stage (age most predominantly)
Does not account enough for individuality and differences in staged development
Little emphasis on affective characteristics, especially motivation
Imitation: Individuals adopt the modeled behavior more readily and completely if the person they are observing is admired by the observer
We more readily model behavior if it results in outcomes we value or approve of
Think of a laboratory environment, for instance. What’s more effective in your estimation…watching the faculty member conduct the lab, or you doing it yourself?
Knowledge is actively constructed by individuals in light of and in relation to our past experiences, the context of learning, personal motivation, and our beliefs/attitudes/prior knowledge
Think of the lab…instead of just watching it being done, the student acts as the active agent conducting the lab, with expert support leading them to the edge of their knowledge and beyond.
Dialogic: central focus is on written & spoken dialogue
Recursive: new learning is built upon prior learning…scaffolding
Suggests that knowledge is neither given nor absolute, but is rather an individual construct
Does not fit well with traditional age grouping and rigid terms/semesters that do not provide a flexible timeframe for learning
