Question 1
According to the behaviourist perspective, people are moulded according to their environment. This can be via either positive or negative reinforcement. If behaviour is reinforced, either positively or negatively, then the likelihood of that behaviour happening again increases. If behaviour is punished, the possibility of that behaviour happening again is reduced.
Behaviourism can be classified into two different groups, classical conditioning and operant conditioning :(Alberto & Trout-man, 2003; Cooper et al., 2007; Miltenberger,
2008):
Classical conditioning: Is the process of reflex learning-investigated by Pavlovthrough which an unconditioned stimulus (e.g. food) which produces an unconditioned response (salivation) is presented together with an unconditioned stimulus (a bell), such that the salivation is eventually produced on the presentation of the conditioned stimulus alone, thus becoming a conditioned response. Operant conditioning: Operant conditioning is another form of learning by association. The learning that takes place depends on the consequences of the response that the person makes.
Behaviourism as a teaching perspective:
What we as teachers can do to implement behaviourism into our lessons:
 Give immediate feedback
 Repeat the directions as many times as possible
 Give positive reinforcement
What we should encourage learners to do:
 Respond to reinforcement
 Ask for feedback
 Ask
