Study Notes

Behaviorism and Its Principles

  • Behaviorism asserts that behaviors are acquired through interaction with the environment.

  • Behaviorism does not prioritize innate or inherited factors in shaping behavior, focusing instead on learned behaviors.

Teacher Influence and Student Behavior

  • Teachers can directly influence student behavior by employing strategies rooted in behaviorism.
  • Understanding students' home environments is essential for teachers, as these can affect behavior and provide a more objective view for managing it.
  • Remaining calm in the face of challenging behaviors sets a rational example, encouraging students to model this composed emotional state.

Managing Challenging Behaviors

  • Common challenging behaviors in preschool include throwing toys or objects, necessitating effective strategies for management.
  • Encouraging students exhibiting disruptive behavior to engage in an alternative activity helps contain the situation and supports a positive classroom environment.
  • It is crucial for teachers to communicate the reasons behind moving students or changing activities, ensuring that they still feel supported and acknowledged.

Response Techniques for Challenging Behaviors

  • A key strategy for addressing disruptive behavior is teaching students constructive ways to respond instead of resorting to negative actions.
