CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Based on Thorndike, learning is phenomenon that grows associations between one events to another events which is called as stimulus (S) with respond (R). Stimulus is a changing of external environment that become sign to activate organism to react and act. And, respond is behavior that is raised by stimulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thorndike’s Connectionism Theory Learning involves both practice and a reward system (based upon the law of effect). Stimulus and response associations can be linked if they are part of the same “action sequence” (based upon the law of readiness).

Detailed explanation-3: -With the help of this theory the wrong habits of the children can be modified and the good habits strengthened. 6) The effects of rewards and punishment also affect the learning of the child. Thus, the theory lays emphasis on the use of reward and punishment in the class by the teacher.

Detailed explanation-4: -An example of this law can be seen in the classroom: if a teacher rewards a student when they do something right, and punishes a student when they do something wrong, the student is more likely to avoid doing wrong things as they cause discomfort and will attempt to do right things more as they result in pleasure.
