The Behaviourist Theory of Learning

John W Gardner (1912 – 2002) “We think of the mind as a storehouse to be filled when we should be thinking of it as an instrument to be used.”

What is the Behaviourist Theory? Learning is nothing more than the acquisition of new behaviour based on environmental conditions – linking a new behaviour to a stimulus by providing reinforcement after the correct behaviour is produced.

The Theorists Pavlov (1849 – 1936) Skinner (1904 – 1990) Watson (1878 – 1958)

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov Russian scientist Nobel prize winner in 1904 Famous for “Pavlov’s dogs”

Advantages of Behaviourism Easily controlled by teacher Some learners benefit from repetition Rewards and punishments are clear Ease of motivation

Disadvantages of Behaviourism Ignores thought processes and emotions Repetition may become boring Totally teacher orientated Little or no input from learners
