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
3. Implications of Behavioral
Theory
Behavioral teaching and learning tends
to focus on skills that will be used later
Behavioral learning does not, however,
generally ask you to actually put the
skills or knowledge you learn into use in
a "real" or "authentic" situation
That usually comes later in a career
4. Teaching with the Behavioral
Theory
Teaching methods include, tutorials, drill
and practice, behavioral simulation, and
programmed instructions.
All of these teaching strategies are
called Integrated Learning System
5. As a Student
They do not see the relevance of luck
when it comes to school or learning
Knowing or having the information come
naturally makes sense to the student in
the behavioral theory
They like to be rewarded for their
achievements

7. Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936)
Famous for his
behaviorism
experiments with
dogs
He taught dogs to
salivate when he
rand a bell, when he
gave them food he
got them to salivate
This was known as
Classic Conditioning
8. B.F. Skinner (1904-1990)
He did experiments
with pigeons and
rewarded them when
he saw them
behaving in a desired
manner.
Eventually taught the
pigeons to dance by
rewarding them when
they did something
right
This was know as
Operant conditioning
9. Albert Bandura (1925- )
Famous for his ideas
on social learning, he
renamed Social
Cognitive Theory
He focused on the
motivational factors
He believes that
people acquire
behaviors through
observation of others
and using those
observations to imitate
what they have
observed
10. My Opinion on the Behavioral
Theory
I do find this theory very effective for
most students. Personally I think the
idea of drilling and practicing the
information is great for knowing the
context. I would use this in the
classroom but I would also use some
other methods for different students, not
everyone learns the same.
