a. Behaviorist approach are controlled and manipulated to changes to behavior. When it comes to classroom management, and behaviorist approach we do it every day in are classrooms. We give positive rewards, and negative rewards. This can vary from what we take away such as a cell phone to giving a detention. Behaviorist approach can also be a positive reward with candy, or extra credit. Skinner’s ABC’s are referring to antecedent, behavior, and consequence. Antecedent is environmental influences that precede the behavior. Behavior is what a person does in a specific situation. A consequence is the environmental influences that follow it according to Skinner. Behaviorist approach can relate to classroom management because it can be used in a

Non-Behaviorist approach is not using behavior as a form of discipline or motivation. The schema theory states that all knowledge is organized into units. Within these units of knowledge, and is stored information. Schema theory relates to Non-Behaviorist approach because both are focused on not using emotions when teaching. It is all about the lesson, when you think of non-behaviorist, think of a college pit class. It is a lecture, which simply focuses on the lesson instead of controlling or, manipulates behavior. One approaches that I would take is problem solving. I am planning to become a gym teacher and I would incorporate problem solving into my activities. Such as giving them a task and having, they figure it out as fast as they can. The second approach I would use is accommodation. For this, I would go into a weight room, ask questions regarding a specific lift, and ask what part of the body they would use. An example is benching, the students would say they work their chest. Now that they know they work their chest, I will tell them the specific muscles used during the lift adding to existing knowledge. I would absolutely use both of these approaches in my future classroom. This is because they are helpful to focus on the lesson instead of gaining a …show more content…
Alfie Kohn’s concepts of Punished by Rewards were very interesting and I agreed with much of what he said. I agree with Kohn about providing an engaging curriculum and a caring atmosphere so, kids can act on their desires. He goes on to talk about how we use a lot of punishment and how ineffective it truly is. I would have to agree with him. We punish students too easily and often too harshly. I think it is possible to plan for a for a 100% Non-Behaviorist or behaviorist plan. Yet, I do not think you could teach the whole lesson with a 100% of just one approach. This is because there will always be a student who does not want to do that specific lesson plan you may have set up for the day. Concerning non-Behaviorist trying to focus on the lesson with no punishment or rewards you have a student who is being disruptive on his phone, distracting the students and yourself. You now have to give that student a punishment by taking the phone away for example. With a 100% behaviorist plan, you are giving rewards to a student for asking questions. If a student gets a question right, they get candy. If you do this long enough the students expect candy if they get the question right, or they may guess not caring about the answer just looking for the reward. No, you should not be 100% in just one approach. Yes, you can combine it and I think you should combine it. One example how you can combine Non-behaviorist and behaviorist approach is focusing on the lesson not giving any rewards
