Behaviorism Theory in Education

Behaviorism is an approach to knowledge discovered by John Watson in the early 20th century. This theory states that our behavior is separate from the way our mind operates, therefore, learning is acquired through observation and reinforcement. Behaviorist learning theory is also referred to as direct instruction. Following are some behaviorist techniques that are ideal for use in childhood education. Overview of Behavioral Theories Behaviorism, along with several newer variations that have names like information processing theory, emphasize the learning of facts and skills that authorities, such as teachers or school boards, have decided are important.

8 Kunci Menuju Kesuksesan

Setiap pesawat luar angkasa memiliki system pengendali. Pesawat itu tidak hanya diisi berton-ton bahan bakar yang mudah terbakar, diarahkan ke arah yang tepat, dinyalakan mesinnya, dan dibiarkan meluncur dengan sangat cepat. Ada sebuah system yang dibangun untuk mengendalikan pesawat selama penerbangan, menjaga agar daya bakar hebat yang menggerakkan pesawat tidak merobek pesawat itu menjadi berkeping-keping. untuk membuatnya sedinamis roket – membutuhkan system pengendali juga. Bobbi DePorter, penggagas metode Quantum Learning, memiliki 8 Katalis Kunci sebagai system pengendali untuk mencapai kesuksesan yang kita harapkan. Mengapa disebut Katalis Kunci? Dalam reaksi kimia dan fisika, katalis mendorong perubahan yang diinginkan. Dalam reaksi mental, katalis berfungsi seperti anak-anak kunci di dalam kunci. Kunci dirancang agar kita tidak bisa masuk. Ketika kita terkunci di luar konsep-konsep ini, kita tidak bisa masuk dalam Quantum Success. Kita tidak bisa sukses tanpa kunci-ku
