Behaviorism and me
I can see myself incorporating this into my future classroom in two ways.› My students › My organization
back
My students
I will use classical conditioning for them› When the bell rings, class begins› I will:
Have bell-work on the board Students come in, get settled When bell rings, begin on work Bell (stimulus); bell-work (response) A humorous take on this…
back
My organization
Although stretched, I can use classic conditioning› Associate free time as work time› When free time occurs, try to accomplish
work.› Then, I will achieve more and be used to
accomplishing work during free time.› Another idea
