Spaulding's (2003) research highlights teacher responses to student behaviours and the perspectives of both teacher and student on these responses. Discuss what a teacher-centered vs. A student-centered approach or a boss management vs. A lead management approach to behaviours would look like and how each perspective reflects the imbalance of power.
A teacher-centered approach to behavior modification involves the viewpoint of the teacher primarily. This can be both good and bad for the student, depending on the specific situation. However, the teacher's viewpoint comes from a place of academic and social success and modification with an adult-centric or outside perspective. This perspective may help in identifying the precise pathways a student must take in order to modify a behavior to the teacher's standards, but the student themselves may have trouble understanding why the behavior needs to be modified and the modifications themselves since they come from outside of the student's own social land academic perspectives. The same goes for the boss-management perspectives. The goals being strived for matter most to the teacher or the boss, and the general disconnect between the student or the employee that occurs with this type of approach often leads to confusion of expectations or behaviors.
When a student is able to define their own behavior modification system, the teacher can be sure that the system will be developed according to the student's personal social and academic context. Similar goals may be reached as with the teacher-defined approach, but the student will be more apt to strive for success since the modification that is to occur will seem more genuine and familiar to the student. It is important to understand as well that students need to feel as though they have control of their own destiny and behavior modification. While teachers and parents can help dictate the goals of the modification, whether social or academic, the student must feel as though they are personally and positively invested before any real modification can take place. The same goes for boss-management perspectives vs. employee managed perspectives. When the person being modified feels as though they are invested in the system and the process of modification, they are more likely to strive to do their very best work.
Behavior Modification Therapy Effects of Behavior Modification Therapy on Children with Low Self-Esteem Behavior modification therapy is used in changing the behavior of children, adolescents and adults. However, its use in modifying or dealing with self-esteem is not considered to be very effective and is not used frequently. This paper discusses the basic elements of behavior modification therapy along with the theoretical concepts involved in it. Later on in the paper, ten
Behavior Modification of Drinking More Water Water is one of the most important ingredients in the body to an extent that it constitutes 75% of the human body. As a result, it's an essential part of human existence that has several major benefits to the body. In the past few weeks, I have noted that I do not really drink much water as I ought to despite of its importance to
Behavior Modification and Skill Enhancement for High-Risk Students in Community Colleges Community colleges traditionally maintain an open-door policy, often enrolling students who are poorly prepared to enter higher education. Once these students are enrolled, they often find themselves struggling with severe skill deficiencies and, in a survey of 6,246 students attending a large, urban community college, Jack Friedlander (1981) discovered that, of the students who were not confident in one or more
While this will not necessarily change the behavior it will provide a blueprint for making the person more aware of what he eats and why it happens outside of hunger. The next step would be stimulus control. This involves identifying the environmental cues that are associated with overeating and modifying them so that they are reduced as triggers. Suggestions for ways patients can implement this strategy include: eating only at the kitchen
Reinforcement Magnitude and Response Rate Original research is detailed within this document about the correlation between reinforcement magnitude and response rate. Literature indicates there is a positive correlation between these two phenomena, which served as the hypothesis for this experiment. Participants were randomly assigned colored tokens that correlated to amounts of candy for correctly stringing together beads. The results indicate that the more candy they were given (which functioned in this
In using operant conditioning to modify temper tantrums, the most effective and efficient method uses a system of positive reinforcement that rewards a child for reacting to a situation in a manner other than a tantrum, and a negative reinforcement that involve taking away something a child if the child throws a tantrum. When the child is presented with a situation that usually would result in a tantrum, the ideal
