Behavioural management has been evolving constantly, motivating teachers not only to be aware of the many theories, but also forcing them to constant development and testing of emerging ones to improve the management of each classroom. Arguably Choice theory has given way to the expanding and modification of said theory by other authors trying to keep the key concepts that were proposed initially. This essay is aimed to explore the concepts that prevailed in time and the evaluation of the improvement of new theories.
Behaviour change and management have evolved since B. F. Skinner (1938) stated that the environment could change the behaviour of anyone, when positive reinforcement was strengthened for it to be repeated, and negative weakened in the hope it died out, consequently leaving aside basic needs and other elements that would become more relevant than conditioning in the future.
Jean Piaget (1983) proves that the cognitive development of children lacking meaningful experiences will not result in the appropriate responses Skinner predicted. With the rise of many developing theories at the time, the acquisition of …show more content…
Alongside with this and planning, reviewing previous work will motivate students to improve their future performance and to learn from their own mistakes. Collaborative learning now appears as possible learning communities outside the formal context of learning, with the hope that autonomous students have achieve a higher comprehension level of the importance of self-awareness about education. Fisher postulates all these steps in order to attain the perfect pupil and overall a well-rounded human being. Linking it to Glasser’s expected outcomes, we encounter freedom and fun once again as what is expected for people to achieve, with two different foci on their respective paths: The teacher as a tool, as viewed by Glasser; and a teacher as a developer, by
