Behaviorism in Education (Explained in 4 Minutes)

In education, behaviorism is about utilizing reinforcements or punishments to shape student behaviors and outcomes. We can use this for teaching new information as well as behavior management. For example, a behaviorist teacher would reward students with gold stars or extra recess time when they correctly answer questions in a quiz. This employs positive reinforcement to encourage students to memorize the correct answers. The theory underpinning behaviorism is simple: rewards increase the likelihood of a behavior, while punishments decrease the likelihood of a behavior.
