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 asserts that thought could be conceptualized with intervening variables (see also: cognitivism).

Behaviorist educational 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.
