John Locke, a physiologist in the 1700s, said that children are born as a "blank slate" and are continually shaped by their experiences. The principles underlying behaviorism explain, in this case, the conditioning of a child and how this is achieved. This is done without regard to thoughts or feelings, and psychological disorders are best treated by changing behaviors (Q. Faryadi 2007). Behaviorism is a key area in teaching children and allows for the conditioning of children. However, around 1930, Watson's behaviorism began to raise doubts among researchers of the time, and many psychologists questioned whether it was the right method for controlling children. (J. Moore 2011). Modern and contemporary classrooms need to be “up to date” and technologically advanced, but it is the underlying importance of teaching methodology that is key. In this essay, the idea of ​​the emphasis on behaviorist methods is evaluated as well as how they should be integrated into the modern classroom. Behaviorism is defined by Google as “the theory that human and animal behavior can be explained in terms of conditioning.” , without involving thoughts or feelings, and that psychological disorders are best treated by changing behavior patterns. This relies on positive and negative reinforcement of behavior giving the individual a psychological condition underlying a certain trait. In the study of individual phobias (2003), we see how constant exposure or conditioning is a method of overcoming the psychological problem. These can then be integrated into a hierarchy of exposure practices, gradually eliminating the use of safety strategies as the study progresses (Antony, M 2003). The constant exposure ...... middle of paper ...... class, it allows us to minimize the flaws of behaviorist theory. it allows personal expression, which is lacking in the elementary behaviorist approach, and forms more “balanced” individuals. Modern classrooms are essential to students and their education. the learning space should be contemporary and accommodate learners of all learning styles and methods. it is essential that the focus is on the learner and that their environment is created to support them. As noted, it is important that classrooms implement both a behaviorist approach and a sociocultural approach. this helps fill the gap in intimate education with the child on a personal level and creates well-rounded learners. It addresses a wider range of teaching and allows students to learn more creative principles, where the behaviorist approach fails..
