Behaviorism In Education

Why is Behaviorism important in today's education system?


Behaviorism says that human behaviorism is determined by forces in the environment that we cannot control. Behaviorism is important because when it comes to education everyone is going to learn in their own way, and in a way where they can learn the best. Teacher's have a way of teaching things to a class but each student is going to learn in their own way. The teachers will not be able to control it and the environment plays a huge role in how the students work and what they are going to be able to get done. For example when a student goes home they may have the resources to do the homework in the right way. The environment affects what the children are going to get out of school. Depending on what school supplies they are allowed to have they will or will not get the best education out of school like everyone else. I believe that each philosophy has their own role when it comes to the education system and what everyone is going to get out of it. Teachers need to be aware of everything that can affect a child and making sure they are able to get the best education that they can.
