  5. Jean Piaget Cont’d • Jean Piaget, explanation for cognitive theory of learning is to focus on mental process, from the moment of birth the mind begins to find meaning for everything that is seen, felt, heard and tasted. • Learning occurs when people can associate new learning with previous knowledge. • Piaget experiment arranged stages of cognitive development to improve from child to adulthood and how it changes.

  7. Educational Impact of piaget theory • Teachers focusing on the process of children’s thinking and understanding the process of children using how to get to the answer. • Teachers instead of teaching to much they should provide a rich variety of activities that will let children to act directly on the physical world. • Jean Piaget referred to the question “How can we speed up development”. He wanted to accelerate children's process through the stages. • Teachers should take a special arrange activities for individual and small groups of children rather than the total class.

  8. Burrhus Frederic Skinner http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=video+clip+on+B+F+Skinner&view=detail&mid=9FF918F084DA607B8C7C9FF918F084DA607B8C7C&first=0&FORM=LKVR16

  9. Burrhus Frederic Skinner(March 20, 1904 - August 18, 1990) • B.F. Skinner grew up in Pennsylvania. • In 1926, Skinner graduate from Hamilton College with an Bachelor’s degree in English. • In 1931, he received his Master's degree from Harvard, and his Doctorate a year later, both in the field of psychology. • In 1945, B.F. Skinner became Psychology Department Chair of the University of Indiana. • In 1948, he joined the psychology department at Harvard University where he remained for the rest of his life.

  10. B. F. Skinner Cont’d • B. F. Skinner believed that reinforcement is something that makes it more likely that a given behavior will be repeated. The consequences of a given action either reinforce the behavior or do not. • Skinner did not worry too much about which consequence was the stronger one. He believed that if a behavior was reinforced, it was to be repeated. • Skinner believed that positive reinforcement was more effective than punishment and that the reinforcement must come quickly.

  11. B. F. Skinner Cont’d • Skinner also designed a teaching machine that presented students individually with questions to do and feedback after each answer. • It proved to be successful, students were able to answer questions that were unable to do in the beginning.

  12. J. Piaget & B. F. Skinner • They were two of the most influential human development theorists of the 20th century and viewed learning development from very different angles. • Piaget, took approach and was concerned with the mental structures. That development occurred in stages in which changed in how the person thinks to construct his or her world through progressively more complicated. • Skinner, on the other hand worked from a learning perspective and saw human development as a continuous process in which changes in behavior were responses to experience and adaptation to the environment.

  13. Educational impact of B. F. Skinner theory • Responses from the environment that neither increase nor decrease the probability of a behavior being repeated. • Responses from the environment that increase the probability of a behavior being repeated. It could be either positive or negative. • Response from the environment that decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated. Punishment weakens behavior.
