  17. Behaviourist Schools • Positive reinforcement is much more effective than negative in stimulating learning • Teachers role focuses on achieving desired goals instead of external expectations

  18. Marxist Free School • Teachers and students work together in developing individual learning programs • Each student decides what they want to learn and the teachers aid the students in achieving their goals
