Study Notes
Teaching and Learning
- Teaching can be a source of curiosity, wonder, and excitement.
- Teachers have the unique opportunity to not only teach valuable knowledge and skills but to also inspire students to learn beyond the classroom.
A Day in the Life of a Teacher
- Jennifer Fuller, a third-grade teacher, describes a typical day filled with responsibilities, including lesson planning, grading, email correspondence, and extra-curricular activities.
Readiness for Learning
- Both students and teachers need to be ready for learning. Students need a sufficient vocabulary, understanding of complete sentences, and basic grammatical skills, while teachers need to be responsive, encouraging, and provide appropriate learning tools.
Focusing on Behaviour
- When learning new skills, such as cooking or teaching, individuals often focus more on the practical aspects of performing the task rather than analyzing the process.
Behaviourism in the Classroom
- Behaviorism is a useful framework for understanding the relationship between student actions, their precursors, and their consequences.
- It focuses on observable behaviors rather than internal thoughts or feelings.
Respondent Conditioning
- Respondent conditioning, also known as classical conditioning, describes changes in involuntary responses to stimuli.
- Pavlov's famous experiment with dogs and salivation is a classic example.
- The process involves pairing a neutral stimulus (e.g., the sound of a bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., food) that naturally elicits a response (e.g., salivation).
- Over time, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus and can elicit the same response without the presence of the original, unconditioned stimulus.
Applying Respondent Conditioning in Education
- Respondent conditioning can be applied in education to influence students' attitudes and feelings, such as fostering a love for learning or building self-confidence.
- Positive reinforcement, such as compliments or rewards, can create positive conditioned responses.
- The absence of reinforcement can lead to extinction of the conditioned response.
Generalization and Discrimination
- Generalization occurs when a conditioned response is extended to stimuli similar to the original conditioned stimulus.
- Discrimination involves learning to limit the generalization of conditioned responses to specific stimuli.
Operant Conditioning
- Operant conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors and how these behaviors are influenced by their consequences.
- Positive reinforcement increases the likelihood of a behavior by providing a reward, while negative reinforcement removes an unpleasant stimulus, also increasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring.
- Punishment decreases the likelihood of a behavior by introducing an unpleasant stimulus or removing a reward.
