Definition
- Behaviorism first of all is a paradigm in research methodology.
- In Psychology and Education, behaviorism refers to approaches that study humans by (manipulating) and observing their behavior, usually in well controlled situations.
- Neo-behaviorism that is more popular in education and asserts that thought most be conceptualized with intervening variables (like cognitivism).
Behaviorist Psychology
- Behaviorist psychology considers the human brain as a blackbox that can't be accessed. Learning is considered as process of stimulus-response that one can observe and manipulate.
Behaviorist Pedagogy
- Behaviorist pedagogy aims to modify observable behavior and considers learning behavior that shows acquisition of knowledge or skills.
- See also the article on learning type.
Examples
- Gagne's Nine events of instruction, a partly behaviorist, partly cognitivist model.
- See also the whole range of instructional design models.
