Behaviorism is a theory of learning based on the idea that conditioning by environmental stimuli shapes behavior. There are two types of conditioning: classical and operant. Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with a reflex response, as Pavlov demonstrated by training dogs to salivate to a bell. Operant conditioning involves associating behaviors with consequences through rewards and punishments, as Skinner showed by teaching pigeons behaviors. Behaviorists believe behavior can be modified in the classroom through operant techniques like rewarding positive behaviors and ignoring negative ones.

Behaviorism M.M.
Key Points Also know as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment . Behaviorists believe that our responses to the environment stimuli shape our behavior. There are two types of conditioning: Classic Conditioning Operant Conditioning
Classical Conditioning A technique used in behavioral training where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a reflex. Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) became famous for his conditioning experiment. Pavlov trained a dog using classical conditioning to salivate every time a bell was rung.
Operant Conditioning A method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior. An association is made between a behavior and a consequence for that behavior. B.F. Skinner (1904-1990) experimented with this theory. Skinner rewarded pigeons when he saw them behaving in a desired manner. Eventually Skinner was able to teach pigeons to dance using this technique.
Classroom Implications Teachers: Through operant learning, teachers can reward students that turn in homework on time or ace tests in order to continue the desired behavior. Teachers can use technology by creating awards on a type of software that congratulates children for the work they did. Students: Students good behavior will continue if they are rewarded for it through praise. The students bad behavior will eventually subside if they are not rewarded for it. If children do receive printed rewards, they can frame it and put it on their wall, so they are reminded of it everyday.
Behaviorism in my class Behaviorism is something I will use everyday in my classroom. I will set up behavior charts and reward the kids at the end of the day for being good and staying at the top of the chart. For those that are bad, I will not reward them and may talk to their parents. These actions should stop their bad behavior for the following day.
