Redl And Skinner's Theory Of Classroom Management

Socio-behaviorists often study how children 's experiences model their behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Behaviorism believes that what matters is not the development itself, but the external factors that shape children 's behaviors (Nolan & Raban, 2015). This theory demonstrates that teachers and mentors dominate and instruct child-related activities, and they decide what children should learn and how to learn (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Reinforcement, which is an essential factor that helps children to learn particular behaviors, generally refers to rewards and punishments (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Children are more likely to repeat actions that result in receiving praise; in contrast, they may ignore or abandon behaviors that make them get punishment. Nevertheless, Skinner points out that children learn nothing from the punishment. Instead, they may start to work out how to avoid it (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Another concept is classical conditioning (classical behaviorism) that emphasizes on the relation between stimuli and response. This concept embodies in a famous experiment, in which the food is presented to the dog when the bell rings, and the bell becomes a conditioned stimulus for the dog (Nolan & Raban, 2015). Likewise, if children receive toys in the condition that they behave well, then they will probably repeat this behavior to get the toys. Nevertheless, Pavlov 's theory of classical conditioning is somehow extreme, as it reduces

The theory behind behavior modification ethics has a reputation for its accomplishments and disappointments. In addition to this, there are many dangers in using physical punishment as behavior modification with the two primary modifiers of behavior being Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. The outcome of using negative reinforcement has its share of benefits and downfalls in human behavior whereas; positive reinforcement seems to win over. Then there is the theory of Operant Conditioning of B.F. Skinner and what the public’s view on this theory is and how well it works.

Mr. Byrne is having trouble getting his students to listen. He is trying scolding as a punishment, but that is not working. By the end of this essay, Mr. Byrne will learn how use operant conditioning to get his seventh grade students to listen.

Above are pictures of Mrs. Pollard’s classroom at Hartwood Elementary School. The atmosphere of the room is extremely bright and learning-oriented. The lighting is bright and there are posters around the room that are colorful. The picture on the left shows the set-up of the entire room and the picture on the right shows the front of the room from the perspective of the students. If anything is difficult to see in the pictures, Mrs. Pollard has Orff instruments set up on the side, a piano in the front, and two desks in the back; which leaves a space in the middle of the room for students. She also has posters of instruments, recorder fingerings, and solfège around the room.

Before leaving biology lab on December 6, I had the honor of interviewing the graduate assistant-teaching for biology 211 lab. During the interview I learned a lot of things about the teaching assistant like her background information and education. Her name is Lauren L and she is a graduate student at Iowa State University. Lauren has worked at Iowa State University for five semesters as a teaching assistant for biology 211 lab. She chose the teaching profession because she truly wants to teach and get some experience teaching undergraduates. She also wants to play a role in helping undergraduate students decide or declare a major because she wants her students to recognize that she cares about them. Lauren’s philosophy of teaching is that

Carrie Rothstein wrote the book and it mainly entails issues and treasured ideas to do with managing classrooms. It takes into the deep study the new of thinking about classroom management by advocating that teachers should learn to intermarry cultures with class instruction and more so have the diverse cultures in their mind while carrying out the so-called class management and arrangement. It states that the studying is much affected by culture hence teachers should equip themselves with the various cultures of the students they teach even if not necessarily learning all the dos and don'ts of a given culture. The books urged teachers to learn about the different ways in which culture affects the beliefs about schooling and education in general

As I began the field of education, I had a firm grasp of what to do and what not to do. The firm grasp I had an idea of was not anything compared to actually being in the field. My ideas of being stern and meticulous went out the window when it came to middle and elementary students. High school I could use some more stern tactics but grades K-8 proved to be more of a grey area to be worked on. I began working harder to make sure that everyone was achieving the same level of teaching. Students from ESL, those with IEPS, and the usual crowd made things very different in terms of instruction and how it should be handled. I had students in my first placement that did not have the ability to speak clear English but was able to write it. I also

Both Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning and Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning can be used every day in an ECCE setting. Today many school systems and childhood authorities follow Skinner’s and Pavlov’s theory by using the approach of positive reinforcement. This encourages good behaviour in the child making the behaviour more likely to be repeated again as they are rewarded and praised for their efforts in reading, writing and general learning. It is important that children’s efforts in a learning setting are rewarded as this will encourage the child to perform to the best of their ability. School authorities only use negative reinforcement as a last resort.

Biological, cognitive, and socioemotional processes are all connected in the developmental task of a baby smiling at his or her mother’s touch. Biological processes produce changes in an individual’s physical nature. Cognitive processes bring changes to the individual’s thought, intelligence, and language. Socioemotional processes include changes in the individual’s relationships with other people, changes in emotions and changes in personality. For the baby, the biological process has to do with the physical touch by the mother and the baby’s response to this touch. The cognitive process deals with the fact that the mother is intentionally touching the baby, something that the baby is beginning to understand. The socioemotional process for

My philosophy of classroom management incorporates a plan that generates and maintains a safe, secure classroom environment where students are engaged and learning is promoted. The components that I believe will create the classroom that meets my expectations is included in this paper. These components are discussed in detail and some diagrams and charts are provided to clarify my ideas. However, I realize that according to the grade level I teach, the district I teach in, and the school I begin my teaching career in, some of or all the these ideas may have to change or be adjusted to meet the standards and goals set forth by the governing education administration for whom I am employed under.

I had the pleasure of visiting with Mrs. Cooke’s fifth grade class during my clinical experiences. Mrs. Cooke has a great rapport with her students and has very little difficult actively engaging students in learning. One of the “takeaways” from my visit references the students’ and teachers’ commitment to the principles of “The Leader in Me”. From a school-wide perspective, East Elementary School does not practice the traditional positive behavior interventions. Instead, the administration has adopted the ideals and principles behind “The Leader in Me”. The Leader in Me teaches students 21st century leadership and life skills and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader (FranklinCovey, 2009). The program has created 7 habits that promote a positive learning environment. The program is also aligned to several national and state academic standards. The program is designed to teach students about life skills such as responsibility, accountability, leadership and initiative. The learning environment is designed to be student-led. This means that within each classroom, the various roles that teachers serve are now entrusted to the student. Students control the flow of transitions, answering the intercom calls, greeting visitors, passing out papers, and ensuring that their classmates are on task. I fully intend to implement these strategies into my classroom. I observed the students in their various roles and the most

Although Harry Wong focuses more on classroom management and not the demographics of the classroom, him and Gary Borich both equally emphasize the importance of a positive and supportive classroom environment for all students. Wong declares,” It is the teacher – what the teacher knows and can do—that makes the difference in the classroom.” (81) Effective teachers provide all students with equal opportunities for learning by utilizing culturally responsive direct instruction, questioning and classroom management. Caring for students and building a nurturing environment that accepts all students and allows them to engage in profound learning experiences are fundamental characteristics of effective

The reaction of teachers to students' misguided goal-seeking behavior can be instrumental in either reducing or increasing the incidence of misbehavior in the classroom. Avoiding these discipline problems depends to some degree on teachers' personalities. Different teachers tend to react to their students in different ways, and their reactions produce different results. Dreikurs identifies three tyes of teachers: autocratic, permissive, and democratic (Charles, 1992).

According to the Bucholz and Sheffler (2009), the classroom procedure can be implemented by creating the classroom tradition. For example of classroom traditions are by creating a class pledge, reading quotes for the class, do the reflective activity at the end of the class, and write the song or poem. All this things can be implemented at the beginning or at the end of the class. For example, before start the class, the teacher asks students to read the pledge so that it can help to increase students’ interest when the lesson starts. Through this tradition also, it can boost the student’s interest to come to the school and enjoyable when they are in the classroom. Besides that, conduct the classroom meetings also important to make children feel welcome. This procedure can be lead by teachers as a facilitator and guidance for the students in conducting the meeting. Teacher can be a leader to start the meeting. When having this meeting, the problems and conflict of the classroom can be discussed and solved. On the other hand, the students’ problem such as their problems in study also can be discussed. Apart from that, students can learnt and increase their skill in the problem solving and can create the positive attitude of sense of belonging and trust among

Classroom management aims at establishing student self-control through a process of promoting positive student achievement and behavior. Thus, academic achievement, teacher efficacy, and teacher and student behavior are directly linked with the concept of classroom management.
