«Rewards being correct but encourage when incorrect.“

This quote means two things:

(1)Teachers should reward the correct answer that
would encourage the students to feel competent and
apperciative of their own effort and to continue working
hard and doing their best. This positive reinforcement
will both reward the child who answered correctly, and
may encourage other children to attempt to answer
another question correctly.
(2)Another point is that we should encourge the
incorrect answer in order to get the right answer by
motivating the students to try new approaches and
because sometimes teachers ask questions not to get
the right answers but to let the students try to answer
and learn from their mistakes.
How can we apply behaviorism in classroom?
Under this theory teachers can:

●Use reinforcement to encourage students to do their

best work and encourage improvement
●Try to avoid punishment, unless absolutely

neccessary
●Have objectives and expectations clearly stated

●Give the learner immediate feedback

●Break down the task into small steps

●Repeat the directions as many times as possible

●Work from the most simple to the most complex tasks

● Always be positive and let the students know that

they can do it, and can do it well.

 To better understand the relationship
between behaviorism and classroom
learning, I promote the following video
 Now, let's see some activities related
to behavior mangement in the classroom
Count to five or hold up one
finger at a time when the
class needs to refocus.
Discuss what occurs for
each number at the
beginning of the school
year and eventually the
reaction will be automatic.
The best way to promote
kindness and caring
behaviors in our classrooms
is to model them. When we
show our students what it
looks like and sounds like to
be kind, there is a far greater
chance they will repeat those
modeled behaviors.
Here we can mange
behavior by having the
students think about what
they have done wrong
Thank you!
