- 2. Behavioristic Learning Theory &Technology Integration
- 3. Behavioristic Learning Theory Definition Behaviorist learning theory, a philosophy that believes a well-rounded understanding of the relationship between stimulus and response can promote desired behaviors within an individual (Standridge, 2002)
- 4. Behavioristic Learning Theory focus on • Behaviorism based on observable changes in behavior • New behavioral pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic • Cyclical pattern of teacher-modeling, student repetition and teacher-reinforcement • Learning takes place as the result of a response that follows on a specific stimulus.
- 5. Skinner - Behaviors and Consequences • Stimulus – Response • Reinforcement/Punishment • Outcome oriented • Believed strongly in “learning machines” (computers) that could monitor behavior and deliver reinforcements
- 6. Contribution of Behaviorism • Classroom management • Behavior Modification • Programmed instruction • Drill & Practice with reinforcement
- 7. Skinnerian Directed Models • Focus on teaching sequences of skills from lowest to highest level • Clear objectives and matching tests • Individual more than group work • Lectures, Skill worksheets, activities and texts with specific expected responses l
- 8. Problems with Directed Instruction • Can students problem solve? • Can students apply skills? • What’s this got to do with my life? • Isolation • Not authentic • Can students cooperate with others? • Cultural differences
- 9. Skinner's Operant Conditioning Mechanisms • Positive Reinforcement or reward • Negative Reinforcement: Responses • Extinction or Non-Reinforcement • Punishment
- 10. Educational technology Process of combination of the tools involved in addressing educational needs and problem, with an emphasis on applying the most current tool, computer and their related technologies.
- 11. Contribution of technology related theories in classroom • Technology in the classroom to promote stronger work ethic as well as superior homework completion • Spreadsheets, word processing software, and interactive web-based practice programs promote more desirable academic behaviors from students. • Student performs tasks in and out of class (taking notes, reading, reviewing, etc)
- 12. Continue.. • Sharing of data with students can cause behavioral change • The use of technology, such as spreadsheets, graphical representations of data allows students to quickly and easily understand the data being present and effect behavioral change much more quickly.
- 13. Continue… • Technological advancements in the classroom can be used to promote more cohesive homework assignments that allow students to practice, “…specific skills of a complex process • Electronic resources are constructed on a foundation of behaviorism as the students are challenged to complete a problem
- 14. The major educational technology developments attributed to behaviorism • The behavioral objectives movement • The teaching machine phase • The programmed instruction movement • The individualized instructional approaches • The computer-assisted learning • The systems approach to instruction
- 15. Skinner contributions to the practice of educational technology techniques • Stating objectives in terms of desired terminal behaviors. • Assessing a students previously acquired behaviors before instructions. • Placing a learner in a sequence of instruction where he or she can achieve at 90% level. • Using teaching machines to reinforce and to strengthens desired terminal behaviors. • Recording a learners progress through a lesson to gain feedback for revising a lesson.
- 16. Application of technology help to change both teacher and learner behaviors • Technology help teachers at many aspects like • Planning • Teaching • Communication • Managing information
- 17. • Technology enhance learning through multiple sources • Brain Pop • ClassDojo • Video conferencing • Electronic websites • Online collaboration • Open educational resources • Multimedia presentation • Technology help assessing students skill
