Philosophical Bases of Behaviorism

Behaviorism has roots in several philosophical traditions. It is related to realism, and the realist thesis of independent reality resembles the behaviorist's belief that behavior is caused by environmental conditions. Behaviorism also is indebted to materialistic philosophy, such as that  promoted by Thomas Hobbes , who held that reality is primarily matter and motion and that all behavioral phenomena can be explained in thos terms. Behaviorism's connection with realism is primarily with modern realism and its advocacy of science. However, it has some similarities to classical realism. For example, Aristotle thought that humans reached form or essence through the study of particulars, and be haviorists think that people can understand human behavior by a meticulous study of particular behaviors. Materialism has its root in Greek philosophy, but as it exists today, Materialism is the theory that reality can be explained by the laws of matter and motion. Behaviorism is defin...

Bloom's Taxonomy

Image
The Taxonomy  improves  on the original by adding  a two- dimensional framework into which you may classify learning objectives and assessment items. The two dimensions are the Knowledge Dimension and Cognitive Process Dimension. The Cognitive Process Dimension is very much like the original Bloom's taxonomy. Its categries are remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. The cognitive processes of synthesis and evaluation from the old taxonomy have switched their older and become evaluate and create in the new taxonomy. This change makes sense, in that evaluation requires making a judgment after analyzing something against criteria hile creating erquires putting together something new. The Knowledge Dimension has four subcategories: Factual knowledge, Conceptual knowledge, Procedural knowledge, and Metacognitive knowledge. Now factual knowledge cotains facts in other mening single facts for example: the sun rises from the east  which is t...

The Skillful Teacher

Teaching is one of the most complex imaginable. Both s teachers oueselves and as students and researchers of teaching, we have been awed by the immensity of the task of understanding teaching. We know that a good teacher is many things, among them a caring person. But  a good teacher is also  a skillful practitioner, meaning adept at certain specifiable, observable actions. Skillful teachers are made, not born. They have learned the skills use, and others can look at what they are doing in the classroom and say what is skillful about it. Some skillful teachers do not have vocabulary or the concept fo describing what they already do. They just "know" what to do and do it effortlessly and naturally intuitively, some might say. This effortlessness is an unconscious, automatic kind of knowing. Skillful teachers are clear about what is to be learned, clear about what achievement means, and clear about what they are going to do to help students attain it. And if one thing doesn...
