  3. Key Points4 • Behaviorism: • Is a doctrine • Views human learning through an objective, scientific lense • Places humans on an equal behavioral footing with animals

  4. Behaviorism & The Teacher4 • Teachers: • Focus only on behavior of students • Use positive and negative reinforcement • Direct behavior rather than develop critical thinking • Teachers may accomplish these goals by: • Using computer time as a reward for desired behavior • Putting a student into a corner for undesired behavior • Focusing on math, history, and science over reading and writing

  5. Behaviorism & The Student4 • Students: • Are not allowed introspection • Focus on achieving rewards or avoiding punishment • Students may accomplish these goals by: • Performing in-class experiments without evaluating the results • Using an overhead projector for math without discussing it with classmates

  6. My Thoughts on Behaviorism • I do not think behaviorism has a place in the classroom and do not find it practical for teaching at all. Teachers should encourage children to think critically, to self-evaluate, and to process on high cognitive levels. Focusing on behavior rather than overall attitude will lead to children acting out. Even if the desired result it is achieved, it is not through means that create the best future active citizen.
