√√çç√√












Behaviorism

•Learning witness through ‘observable’ behaviours (J.B. Watson)

•Lack Mental process

•Skinner: Operant Conditioning

•Change in voluntary behaviour

•Learning is a behaviourial change

Behaviorism - Role of teacher

Approaching Jeremy’s case

•Many negative reinforcers

•Attempt to coax good behaviours






•Attention Moves

•Occurs along a spectrum

•Desisting

•Alerting

•Enlisting

•Winning


•Ms Low should consider positive reinforcers

•Resist sarcasm and other authority-based attention moves

•Affect Jeremy’s self-worth

Limitations of behaviorism

•Student behaviour entirely controlled by teachers

•Does not explain cognitive behaviours

Limitations of behaviorism

•Radical behaviourists

•Forms of behaviour which seem to have no observable reinforcement are ALWAYS the result of some kind of reinforcement (Gredler, 93)

•Motivation NOT in radical behaviourists

Approaching Jeremy’s Case

• Jeremy is UNMOTIVATED

• Failure-accepting student

•Mr chan’s comments that Jeremy is a slow learner

•Damaging to student’s self-attribution

• Learned helplessness

• Cognitivism

• Learning takes place through memory

• “Essential components of learning are the organization of the information to be learned, the learner’s prior knowledge, and the processes involved in perceiving, comprehending and storing information.” (Gredler)

• Information processing model, Schema theory and Meaningful reception theory.


•Under structured lesson (DeCharms)

•Mr Tan begins class by giving them a puzzle to solve

•Briefly tells the class the answer according to lessons learnt in previous lesson

• Jeremy rebuked

• Ms Low handling of Jeremy’s failure to anwer questions


•Both teachers should have attempted to get Jeremy to provide a correct answer

•Mr Tan should guide Jeremy to the correct answer

•Motivational for Jeremy çç√√çç√√

Jeremy’s social situation

•Jeremy as upper middle snob

•parents

•extra classes

•Means of conditioning

•Jeremy’s classmates: reinforcers of non-participation

Constructivist view of Learning

•Learning as social (Vygotsky)

•Students do not learn through social interaction but learning IS social interaction


•Jeremy must negotiate social interactions

•Greater degree of structure in lessons

•conflicts may be avoided

•humiliation by teacher should be avoided to prevent non-participation.
