What is a Schema and who was it created by?
A category of information created by Jean Piaget
There is a relationship between…
Thinking, perceiving, feeling, learning and behaving
List the four overarching philosophies of learning and behaviour management
Behaviourism, cognitivism, social contextualism (social constructivism), humanism
Describe behaviourism
Behaviour is the result of experience. Change occurs as result of external stimuli.
Describe how behaviourism is used in behavioural management
Change occurs as result of external stimuli therefore, changing the environment changes the external stimuli
Describe cognitivism
Learning is making meaning of information given to us via language and the senses. Internal thinking processes are important.
Changes in behaviour are observed, but only as an indication of what is occurring inside the learner’s head.
Describe how cognitivism is used in behavioural management
Help children to develop skills and capacities to reflect on problems and correct their own behaviour.
Major emphasis on children developing understanding and insight.
Emphasise intrinsic reinforcement.
Distinguish between behaviourism and cognitivism
Behaviourism= external stimuli Cognitivism= actions are a consequence of thinking (internal stimuli)
Describe social contextualism (social learning theory)
Children’s behaviour is largely contextually dependent. Children imitate the models they observe (Bobo doll experiment)
Describe how social contexualism is used in behaviour management
Positive group work is beneficial for learning
Learning and behaviour is the result of interaction between people and environment
Model what you teach (teach by modelling)
Describe humanism
Learning is the acquisition of positive self-regard as a result of success
Self esteem
Describe how social humanism is used in behaviour management
Consider affective needs in education (e.g. love, belonging, having needs met)
Encourage self-directed learning (move from extrinsic to intrinsic reinforcement
Who created the Behaviour Modification Model?
B.F. Skinner
Describe the Behaviour Modification Model
Using positive and negative reinforcement and punishment to encourage or discourage behaviour.
Positive punishment means something is ADDED that makes behaviour LESS likely to continue or to occur again. Unpleasant consequence is introduced to discourage their behaviour.
Positive reinforcement means something is ADDED that makes the behaviour MORE likely to continue or reoccur. A pleasant or desired consequence is introduced to encourage behaviour.
Negative punishment means something is REMOVED or taken away that makes the behaviour LESS likely to continue or reoccur. Something they want is removed in order to discourage their behaviour.
And negative reinforcement means something is TAKEN AWAY that makes the behaviour MORE likely to continue or reoccur. Something unpleasant is removed to encourage their behaviour.
List some key cognitivist theorists
Jean Piaget (schemas), Lev Vygotsky (zone of proximal development), William Glasser (choice theory)
Describe Glasser’s choice theory
Glasser believes that all student behaviours are driven by a desire to satisfy 5 genetic needs:
- Survival, safety & security
- Love, belonging and acceptance
- Personal power, competence & achievement
- Freedom, independence, autonomy
- Fun and learning
Glasser believes that children can be TAUGHT about these needs as well as responsible ways to satisfy them
Hold classroom meetings, be a leader not a boss, expect 100% from every student, reasoning with students, encourage development of internal locus of control
