CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An example of behaviorism is when teachers reward their class or certain students with a party or special treat at the end of the week for good behavior throughout the week. The same concept is used with punishments. The teacher can take away certain privileges if the student misbehaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -It does not take into account student thoughts or feelings. Instead, it relies on stimuli, things that provoke reactions, and responses, the reaction to stimuli. Behavioral learning theory assumes that if students are given the right stimulus, then the students will give you the response you want.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Behaviourist approach to learning studied changes in behaviour that are caused by a person’s direct experience of their environment, using the principles of classical and operant conditioning to explain them.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
