Document Summary
Neuroscience of behavioural learning: part of cerebellum involved in reflex learning, brain systems associated with pleasure and pain experiences. Handling undesirable behaviour: negative reinforcement: i. e. when supplies are all put away then the class can go out for recess teacher ensures unpleasant situations improve when student behaviour improves, not to be confused with punishment! Behavioural approaches to teaching and management: practice does not make perfect, make sure proper behaviors are practiced otherwise poor behaviours become. Contingency contracts: teacher works with each student to discuss what exactly must be done to earn rewards the negotiating itself is an educational experience: picture of contract on pg. 215: you can keep track of progress on contract, due dates, and assignment record. Severe behaviour problems: theodore (2001) worked with 5 kids with emotional disorder. Functional behavior assessment: focus on why students do behaviour, not the what.
