- 9. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING Implications of classical conditioning in the classroom: • If a student associates negative emotional experiences with school, then this can obviously have bad results, such as creating a school phobia. • If a student is bullied at school they may learn to associate the school with fear. • It could also explain why some students show a particular dislike of certain subjects that continue throughout their academic career. This could happen if a student is humiliated or punished in class by a teacher.

- 12. OPERANT CONDITIONING Implications of operant conditioning in the classroom: • Teachers use positive reinforcement (rewards) to encourage good behavior and academic achievement, and negative reinforcement or punishment to discourage disruptive behavior.
- 13. OPERANT CONDITIONING Implications of operant conditioning in the classroom: • Nobody likes being punished. As a teacher with an entire classroom to manage, you’ll eventually find yourself in a position where a student’s behavior needs correcting. At its core, positive punishment is a form of behavior modification.
- 14. BEHAVIORISM Adjusting the volume and tone of your voice • use a disappointed tone • lower your voice
- 15. BEHAVIORISM Assigning an unpleasant task • A student acts out by throwing his papers into the air, scattering them all over the floor. A direct positive punishment is asking him to clean up the mess he made. • A student is chewing gum in class when it’s against the rules. The student is then made to scrape old gum off the bottom of the desks in the classroom.
- 16. BEHAVIORISM Adding rules Additional rules will not only help the student correct their behavior, they will act as a reminder of what happens when you act out. • Imposing time limits on free or creative time • Establishing enforced quiet time Remember, positive punishment is most effective when there’s a clear correlation between the unwanted behavior and the resulting consequence.
