CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Reactive strategies have the aim of bringing about immediate behavioural change in an individual or establishing control over a situation so that risk associated with the presentation of the behaviour is minimised or eradicated.

Detailed explanation-2: -From a behaviorist perspective, the role of the learner is to be acted upon by the teacher-controlled environment. The teacher’s role is to manipulate the environment to shape behavior. Thus, the student is not an agent in the learning process, but rather an animal that instinctively reacts to the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning which states all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment through a process called conditioning. Thus, behavior is simply a response to environmental stimuli.

Detailed explanation-4: -A reactive approach is when the teacher deals with behavior when it becomes a problem in the classroom. Both approaches are used by teachers in addressing misbehavior in their classrooms. Teachers must deal with problem behavior to not interrupt the education process.
