Behaviorism Chloe Webb Bervely Joseph Thomas Harbaugh Jacob Alkana TE+AM=TEAM
Key Points • Behaviorism advocates the idea that learning is a system of rewards and punishments (Shelly, 258). • Humans learn in the same manner as animals (Shelly, 258). • The way humans interact is based on what you observe rather than what you cognitively process (Shelly, 258).
Classroom ImplicationsTeacher • Positive and negative reinforcement as well as punishment based on student actions (Shelly, 259). • Teachers who ascribe to this philosophy promote to their students, that reward acquisition is their highest goal (Shelly, 259). • Teachers determine which students are doing well based on what they can observe (Shelly, 259).
Classroom ImplicationsStudent • Students would want to do well in school, in order to be rewarded (Shelly 259). • Emphasis pre-convential morality according to Lawrence Kohlberg (Cherry).
Opinion of Theory(Collaborative) Students learn the value of pleasing authority, more than the value of education in itself. The goal of education should be to raise future generations with the mindset that knowledge is the most valuable thing to strive for. If we wish to achieve this, then there are better philosophies with which to teach them.
