Theorists we will be looking at: B.F. Skinner (1904-1990)

William Glasser (1925-present)

Thomas Gordon (1918-2002)

The approach, generically called behaviourmodification, operates on the principle thatpeople rewarded for what they do becomemore likely to do the same thing again.

For example, if Amy is thanked (or given acompliment or a point) for raising her hand

before speaking, she is more likely in thefuture to raise her hand instead of speakingout.

The noted psychologist Burrhus FredericSkinner proposed that proper and immediatereinforcement strengthens the likelihood thatappropriate behavior will be repeated

(Skinner, 1948, 1970).

William Wattenberg (1967) explained thatmany teachers believe B. F. Skinner's behaviormodification approach holds potential forshaping students' behavior.

 Just as Skinner believed that positive rewardsshape most learned human behavior, manyteachers believe that students will repeat"rewarded" behaviors and stop "unrewardedor ignored" behaviors.

Thus, teachers shape pupils' behaviors bydetermining desired behaviors first andselect appropriate reinforcers to encouragestudents to repeat those desirable behaviors.

As reinforcement occurs, the likelihood of students repeating positive behaviorsincreases (Bigge, 1976).

Reinforcement in a classroom can take manyforms.

Social reinforcers◦ Words – Smiles – Gestures

Graphic reinforcers◦ Star – Sticker – Checkmark

Activity reinforcers◦ Free time – Special game

Tangible reinforcers◦ Treat – Pencils and other supplies – Certificates

Rather than reprimanding misbehavingstudents, teachers can praise students whobehave properly.

According to Skinner's theory, the behavingstudents will continue to demonstratepositive behavior. The misbehaving students,desiring the positive reinforcement, will beginto behave appropriately

A teacher may reduce the number of Englishhomework for pupils who complete theirwork correctly in class.

The teacher seeks to reinforce the behavior ofcompleting in-class work by eliminating orreducing the undesired homeworkassignment.

To be effective, reinforcement should beappropriate and immediate.

Ignoring inappropriate behaviors and praiseor thanks pupils immediately after he exhibitgood behaviours.

Use only positive comments

Developing behaviour contracts . (Token,Points)

“helping people look to present conditions tofind solutions to problems” 

“education is the process through which wediscover that learning adds quality to ourlives” 

“students have specific human needs andmotives and should accept responsibility for

their behavior”.

Only person whose behavior we can control inour own, and each person makes his ownchoices in everything they do.

There must be a closeness in relationshipbetween the parents and teachers with thestudent in order to change misbehavior.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 15/46

For Glasser, motivation and discipline havemerged into almost a single concept:

1. All students behave in ways, whether goodor bad, that show their attempt to meet 5basic needs – survival, belonging, power,freedom and fun.

2. Students feel pleasure when their needs

are being met, frustration when they are not.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 16/46

3. Because schooling does relatively little tomeet student’s needs, students becomeaphathetic.

4. Schools must create conditions that do notfrustrate, but that attempt to meet studentneeds. Quality should be emphasised at alltimes, backed by encouragement, support,and help from the teacher.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 17/46

5. Quality teachers, according to Glasser,befriend students, provide stimulation andencouragement, and show an unfailingwillingness to help.

Glasser also suggested something: Regardingsetting class rules, student opinion is alsoimportant. For example,…. 

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 18/46

Teachers begin by discussing the importanceof doing quality work in the class, then askstudents about rules they believe will helpthem to get quality work done.

Teacher should solicit student advice on whatshould happen when a rule is broken.

Once agreed to, rules and consequences

should be written and signed by students,indicating that they understand and acceptthe rules and consequences.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 19/46

Degree of teacher control in establishingrules:◦ Stress student responsibility

◦ Establish rules that lead to success

◦ Accept no Excuses◦ Call for value judgement

◦ Suggest suitable alternatives

◦ Invoke reasonable consequences

◦ Be persistent◦ Carry out continual review

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 20/46

Student control regarding establishment of rules:◦ Students are aware of rules and expectations

◦ Behavior is a matter of choice

◦ Good behaviors results from good choices. Badbehavior results from bad choices.

◦ A teacher’s duty is to help students make goodchoices

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 21/46

Concern for the students thoughts andfeelings:◦ Recognize students as rational beings, capable of 

their own behaviour.

◦ Care about students and not accept bad behaviour◦ Reasonable consequences follow student behaviour

whether good or bad.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 22/46

  Theoretical Basis:

◦ Behavior is a matter of choice.

◦ Students are rational beings.

◦ Behavioral theoretical basis.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 23/46

View of children in regards to makingdecisions:◦ Children have an internal locus.

◦ Children are responsible for their own behaviors

and can distinguish between what is acceptablebehavior and what is not.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 24/46

Main points of theory◦ Behavior is a matter of choice

◦ Good behavior results from good choices. Badbehavior results from bad choices.

◦ A teacher’s duty is to help students make goodchoices.

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

What teachers should do when studentsmisbehave:◦ Call for value judgment 

◦ Suggest suitable alternatives

◦ Invoke reasonable consequences◦ Be persistent

◦ Carry out continual review

7/28/2019 Building the Foundation2

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/building-the-foundation2 26/46

Teacher: "What are you doing?" (asked inunthreatening tone of voice.)

Student: (Will usually give an honest answer if not threatened.)

Teacher: "Is that helping you or the class?"Student: "No."

Teacher: "What could you do that wouldhelp?"

Student: (Names better behavior.; if can thinkof none, teacher suggests appropriatealternatives and lets student choose.)

So….. 

Meet needs or getmisbehaviours!

Needs (belong, power, freedom, fun, survival)

Teachers should help students satisfy one ormore psychological needs and adds quality to

students’ lives.

Some believe that it is too hard or time-consuming to switch from operantconditioning/stimulus-responsetheories/behavior modification.

Cultural and gender diversities do not allowfor choice making or freedom

Focus on assisting students in taking controlof their own behaviour.
