Modelling Appropriate Classroom: A Case Study

Eliza was confident and proud to share with the class the cat skeleton that she had found under the new house they had recently moved into. The teacher’s anger and dismissal of the cat skeleton could have caused Eliza to become upset and lose confidence. When looking at the theory of behaviourism we can understand that the teacher taking a negative approach with Eliza would have provided her with a negative experience and deterred her from participating in further learning experiences of this type. This negative approach in the classroom could also impact the other children’s willingness to participate in further activities (Duchesne, 2013).

During the student tour of the conditioning centre, the students are shown real life conditioning of Delta children. “Books and loud noises, flowers and electric shocks-already in the infant mind these couples were compromisingly linked; and after two hundred repetitions of the same or a similar lesson would be wedded indissolubly. What man has joined, nature is powerless to put asunder.” (17). This quote describes the children’s reaction to books and flowers.

She used this strategy to keep them from playing too rough with their other classmates. She had a genuine bond with every child she taught and every classroom she taught in. She once said, “The surest test of discipline is its absence.” (Clara

Before exploring ways of managing behaviours and supporting children positively within the classroom/school environment I will be looking at the characteristics that influence particular behaviours. Which can be or become disruptive to a child’s social and emotional wellbeing, their learning and consequently negatively impact both themselves and those around

The experiment of Bobo the doll illustrated by Bandura's theory of social learning on the behavior of aggression supported to be true. (being observed by a one-way mirror) There is a room with crayons, coloring books, toy trucks, and cars and the children played nicely with the adult also playing nicely. Another group of children with the aggressive adult comes in violently attacks Bobo kicks him and says things to him his a tuff little fellow something like that as the child sits and watches.

It is very important that adults are constantly aware that children and young people will look up to the adults in their lives as they develop in their behaviour, attitudes and values. Adults working with children must keep this in mind and ensure that they demonstrating behaviour that is expected from them. Absolute clarity must be ensured on the standard of behaviour that is expected from students in the classroom and in school and adults working with children and young people must be strongly aware of what the school rules are and what is expected from the children in order for this to be effectively conveyed to the students. This is also crucial in ensuring that the behaviour strategies of school staff are consistent throughout school and

After being divided, they were individually seated at a table in the corner where they would be occupied with activities in which they’d previously shown interest (stickers, pictures, 2 https://www.britannica.com/event/Bobo-doll-experiment 1 https://www.britannica.com/event/Bobo-doll-experiment Nickell 3 prints). This served to discourage active participation and allow the behavior model be the main focal point3 . In the opposite corner of the room, another table had been set up.

The development of learned behaviour transpires when the link between observations and actions are contemplated. This essay examines Bandura, Ross & Ross (1961) “Bobo Doll” experiment and its findings. It will further explore the limitations of the study such as selection bias, the role of race and socioeconomic background and the novelty of the Bobo Doll along with the participant’s perception of it as a toy. Additionally, it analysis the contemporary debates of Bandura’s study ranging from biology issues, the setting of the experiment, the participants desire to please adults and the relationship between survival instincts and the participants aggression.

Differences between learning and performing[edit] Albert Bandura followed up his 1961 study a few years later with another that again tested differences in children's learning/behavior or actual performance after seeing a model being rewarded, punished, or experiencing no consequences for aggressive behavior towards a Bobo doll (here and following, Bandura, Ross & Ross 1963) . The procedure of the experiment was very similar to the one conducted in 1961. Children between the ages of 2.5 to 6 years watched a film of a mediated model punching and screaming aggressively at a Bobo doll. Depending on the experimental group, the film ended with a scene in which the model was rewarded with candies or punished with the warning, "Don't do it again". In the neutral condition the film ended right after the aggression scene toward the Bobo doll.

Introduction Learning enables you as an individual, to gain more knowledge about something which you have never learned about. Learning also has to do with past experiences which are influenced by behavioural changes (Weiten, 2016). There are different types of ways to learn; through, classical conditioning, operant conditioning and observational learning which will be discussed and analysed in the essay.   Behaviourism Behaviourism is considered one of the main subjects in psychology and the two main people who founded behaviourism were, Burrhus Frederic Skinner, also known as B.F Skinner and Ivan Pavlov who were famous for the work they did on classical and operant conditioning (Moderato & Presti, 2006). According to Moderato and Presti

Throughout this essay I will be explaining how a behaviour policy supports teachers and how it can also create an effective learning environment. I will also be highlighting any issues which could potentially arise from the use of a behaviour policy. A behaviour policy is guidance for members of staff within a school on how to deal with different behaviours, and sets out the expectations of behaviour for all children at the school. If a behaviour policy is written well it will support the formation of an effective learning environment. An effective learning environment for young children is an environment in which all children feel able to express themselves freely, allowing them to learn effectively.

Those who were told that past visitors did not removed the petrified woods are less likely to pick it up while those who were told that past visitors removed the petrified woods are more likely to pick it up. In another words, learning behaviors start young and society will also follow what they see or read about the norms. For example, a girl who sees someone helping others will become more likely to offer help to others. As seen, getting involved in helping behaviors are easy but whether the helping behavior is egoistic or altruistic will depend on what are being exposed and what motivates an individual to help others, which will be discuss

Kohn argues that using ‘lures for learning’ can result in students experiencing anxiety (1993, p.8). Also in special education settings students are possibly subjected to ‘Skinnerian manipulation’ (1993, p. 8). This highlights the role of criticality in classroom management and the importance of teasing out underlying assumptions through reflection (Brookfield, 1995). It raises ethical awareness to the behaviourist choices we make as teachers as we ought to recognise that we are not looking to alter the personality of young students through behaviourist techniques, but rather reduce anti-social behaviours. Contrary to this, in Kohn’s view, behaviourist teaching is seen as a ‘controlling’ technique and as a way to increase learning performance.

Classroom discipline model developed by Lee Canter in 1987 (Newman, 2013). The main focus was to allow teachers to teach children in an environment where they "have a right to learn and a right to have a classroom free from behavior disruption to their learning" (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011, p.464). Canter also puts a lot of emphasis on positive reinforcement. Canter states: Example 2: Recognizing positive behavior.

While the behaviourist approach can be used to explain simple tasks, it becomes much more problematic in the learning process when tasks and objectives become more complex, such as with higher education. Even though behaviourism has had a major impact on the education in the western world, some critics highlighted the theory’s limitations by stating it was merely a scientific model that has been tested in a laboratory under specific test conditions, and how humans have a higher cognitive process than animals. They also found the theory to be dehumanising and unethical, not to mention that there was no consideration to the humans’ thought complexity compared to animals. A possible problem in relation to teachers utilising behavioural strategies in the classroom, such as praise or time-out, is the potential for haphazard, inconsistent and incorrect implementation (Angela M O’Donnell 2012, p

At the beginning of the course we saw things nothing to do with how to give a class or for to be a teacher, but weeks later we start seeing things like “What is lead-in?” , “What is warm-up”, things like definitions for vocabulary that we were going to use in all the course, next we saw types of students and things like that, then we see how to plan a class, next we start observing classes of other teachers, then we start giving demo-classes with our classmates, and finally we start giving classes with real students. The best part of the course. About the things, I learnt I could say this: -Somethings I have to work on it, I must improve the tone of my voice and don´t be shy because that is causing me that I couldn´t stand up in front of people, I hate talk in public and that is what I must have to change it because for be a teacher you have to be able to talk in
