The Underpinning Premise
-There is a relationship between thinking, perceiving, feeling, learning and behaving
-Better understanding of this relationship -> facilitating desirable behaviour.
-Most behaviour is learned
-Four overarching philosophies of learning & Behaviour Management:
-Behaviourism (Interventionism)
-Cognitivism (Interactionism; Constructivism)
-Social Contextualism (Social Constructivism)
-Humanism (Non-Interventionism)
Individual Models of Management
-All models of both management and learning invariably find their theoretical basis in one of
these four broader philosophies
Philosophy
(More to do with ontology (‘ontos’ - being))
-What do I believe about the nature of humanity?
-Example:
-A.J. Ayer: logical positivism – what is true is supported by observable evidence & logic.
Theory
(More to do with epistemology (‘episteme' - knowledge)
-What do I believe about how knowledge is constructed?
-B.F. Skinner: Behaviourism – observable behaviour can be manipulated for compliance.
Model
(More to do with practicality)
-What practice will I engage for the classroom
-Behaviour Modification – reward positive manifestations, punish negative ones.
Behaviourism (Interventionism)
-Learning is a relatively permanent change in behaviour as a result of experience.
-Change occurs as result of external stimuli.
-Reinforcement is extrinsic (doing things for a reward - external motivator) in nature.
-Positive Reinforcement
-Negative Reinforcement

Document Summary
Psychological principles of classroom management - lecture 4 - week 4. There is a relationship between thinking, perceiving, feeling, learning and behaving. Better understanding of this relationship -> facilitating desirable behaviour. Four overarching philosophies of learning & behaviour management: All models of both management and learning invariably find their theoretical basis in one of these four broader philosophies. Philosophy (more to do with ontology ( ontos" - being)) Ayer: logical positivism what is true is supported by observable evidence & logic. Theory (more to do with epistemology ( episteme" - knowledge) B. f. skinner: behaviourism observable behaviour can be manipulated for compliance. What practice will i engage for the classroom. Behaviour modification reward positive manifestations, punish negative ones. Learning is a relatively permanent change in behaviour as a result of experience. Change occurs as result of external stimuli. Reinforcement is extrinsic (doing things for a reward - external motivator) in nature. Learning occurs when pre-established behavioural objectives have been observed.
