Q

Describe the Behaviour Modification Model

A

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.

Q

Describe Glasser’s choice theory

A

Glasser believes that all student behaviours are driven by a desire to satisfy 5 genetic needs:

  1. Survival, safety & security
  2. Love, belonging and acceptance

  5. 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
