SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION OF BEHAVIORISME THEORY IN LEARNING

1. In behaviorisme theory , there is oIIer something to motivate the student. Dont

you think that it make them to be a materialistic generation and how to avoid it ?
It is true that in behaviorisme theory always give stimulus Ior enhance the
students respons. It is the one oI critic to behaviorisme theory. The learner will be
motivated Irom the external inIluenced ( reward, giIt, or punishment ) not Irom
their willinngnes to increase good beahvior or derease bad behaviorisme.
How to avoid that, the context Ior giving reward basically it is just given Ior the
Iirst. AIter student learning much and the teacher think they are not neccessary
giving the reward such as bread, so it will be stopped.
2. What is the diIIerence between positive reinIorcement , negative reinIorcement,
positive punishment and negative punishment ?
a. positive reinIorcement is means that a stimulus ( reward ) Ior the learner to increase
Irequency behaviour. In this case , surely it the good behaviour. involves a stimulus
that increases the likelihood oI a particular response, such as a child receiving a gold
star Ior doing a chore.
For example : iI a student pay attention he teacher`s explanation then they can answer
some question correctly, the teacher give them some reinIorcement or reward. Reward
can be a praising, or giving something .
b. Negative reinIorcement ,is means that a stimulus ( aversive Ior the learner to
increase Irequency behaviour. In this case, certainly in the good behaviour. In
negative reinIorcement, teacher always oIIer something ( it can be bread or candy or
chocolate etc. ). In this case , the learner will be motivated by the reward, not because
their willingness to learn.
c. Positive punishment ; is means that a stimulus a learner to decrease their behaviour,
in this case their bad behaviour. For example : There is a student who`s really naughty
and always make a noisy during the class, and the teacher just look at him and smile
without say anything.
d. Negative Punishment ; is means that a stimulus a learner to decrease their bad
behaviour. For example ; the student who naughty and less attention during the class
will get the punishment.
3. Do the Behaviourism is implemented Ior the young learner only ?
Actually Behaviourism is not only Ior the young learners, it can also be implemented
Ior adult. As we know that behaviourism emphasized in teacher centre, young learners
are more comIort with the class conditioning. For the teacher it will be easier to
arrange the class condition in teaching. In otherwise, it will be more diIIicult, because
they are more active, not passive iI teacher applied this theory although in some cases
it will be done such us, when they have to learn the diIIicult ones, the imitation or
drilling is important to make deeper understanding.
