Learning and Behavioural Theories in Education

This topic explores how learning occurs through experience, practice, and interaction with the environment, focusing particularly on Behaviourism — a theory that views learning as a change in observable behavior. It examines how conditioning, reinforcement, and punishment shape learners’ actions and attitudes in educational settings. The discussion also introduces the major theorists — Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner, Edward Thorndike, and John B. Watson — whose experiments and principles form the foundation of behavioral learning. Teachers will understand how to apply these theories to classroom management, motivation, and effective instructional strategies by reinforcing desirable behaviors and discouraging negative ones.
