Exploring Educational Theoretical Perpectives
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Have you ever wondered how different educational theories shape the way we teach and learn?Hi. I'm Felice. I am an educator. Today, I introduce you this storyboard to provide an in-depth exploration of three influential educational theories: Behaviorism, Humanitarianism, and Social Learning Theory
- Slide: 2
- Behaviorism
- Why do we have to learn it again? We already did it last week
- Cat
- Because repetition is key to learning. The more you practice, the better you'll remember.

- BEHAVIOURISMBehaviorism focuses on observable behaviours and measurable outcomes. By breaking down complex concepts into smaller units nad providing immediate feedback, teachers can effectively reinforce desired responses.Skinner emphasizes the role of reinforcement and repetition in learning. By rewarding desired behaviours and correcting errors, teacher aims to shape students' responses and knowledge acquisition. (Churchill et all., 2022)
- One specific experience that stands out to me is when I was learning multiplication tales. The teacher used a reward system where I earned stickers for correctly answering multiplication questions. The more stickers I collected, the closer I got to earning a special prize. This approach motivated me to study and practice dilligently, as I wanted to earn as many stickers as possible.The repetition and reinforcement inherent in behaviourism helped me internalize the multiplication tables quickly. The constant practice and positive reinforcement created a strong association between the numbers and their products. Overtime, I found myself recalling the answers effortlessly, and this success further fueled my motivation to excel in mathematics.

- Today we have a new student joning us. Her name is Sarah. She is a refugee from her war-torn country.
- Humanitarianism
- Hi, guys. I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you
- Welcome, Sarah. We are here to help youadjust to your new school and provide any support you may need

- HumanitarismThe humanitarian learning theory emphasizes the importance of incorporating real-world issues and promoting empathy and social responsibility in education. It recognizes that education should not only focus on academic knowledge but also on fostering a sense of compassion and a desire to make a positive impact in the world.For Maslow, people can explore, take risks, and develop their unique talents and abiities only when they meet physiologic needs, feel safe, belonging and love.(Churchill et all., 2022)Rogers agreed with Maslow's points and had an additional idea that people also meet emotional needs and need time to control those feelings to have better lives.(Churchill et all., 2022)
- One particular childhood experience stands out in my memory. When I was in elementary school, our class participated in a community service project to support a local homeless shelter. We collected donations of food, clothing, and toiletries, and visited the shelter to deliver them. This experience opened my eyes to the realities faced by those less fortunate and sparked a deep sense of empathy within me.As I progressed through my education, I sought out opportunities to engage in humanitarian efforts. I joined clubs and organizations that focused on community service, volunteered at local charities, and participated in fundraising events for various causes. These experiences allowed me to connect my learning with real-world issues and make a positive impact in my community.

- Social Learning Theory
- WOW, you made that shot look easy. I wish I could do it like you
- I teach you. It takes practices as well. You can try it too
- Slide: 7
- Social Leraning TheoryIt emphasizes the importance of observing others and modeling behavior, as well as the influence of our environment and social interactions on our learning.According to Bandura (1978), Peaple are constantly influenced by those around them, and that shapes their learning experiences.Moreover, Deci (1980) demonstrated that humans are driven by intrinsic motivation and self-determination. While internal drive makes them do things for the pure enjoyment of it, offering extrinsic rewards makes them feel less in control and less interested in the activity itself.
- One specific learning experience was when I volunteered at a local community center during my high school years. I had the opportunity to assist in teaching basic computer skills to adults who had limited access to technology. Witnessing their determination to learn and the impact it had on their lives was truly inspiring. Through this experience, I realized the power of social learning and the influence that peers and community members can have on one's educational journey. Additionally, my own childhood experiences as a student reinforced the importance of building family-school-community partnerships. I witnessed firsthand how the involvement of families and communities in education can greatly enhance a student's understanding and support. The collaboration between parents, teachers, and community members creates a holistic learning environment where students feel valued, supported, and motivated to succeed.

- As an educator, I apply Behaviourism in school by using strategies like positive reinforcement and shaping to promote positive behavior and create a conducive learning environment. I provide rewards and recognition for good behavior and break down complex tasks into smaller steps to support student progress.
- To Humanitarism, I foster a caring and inclusive classroom environment. I prioritize empathy, respect, and understanding among students, encouraging them to support and help one another. I also incorporate lessons and activities that promote social responsibility and encourage students to make a positive impact in their community.
- In terms of Social Learning Theory, I create opportunities for collaborative learning and peer interaction. I encourage students to observe and learn from one another, fostering a supportive and cooperative classroom environment. By incorporating group projects and discussions, students can actively engage in social learning and develop important interpersonal skills.

- Social learning theory suggest that people can learn by observing the behaviours of others and the outcomes of those behaviours. (Churchill et all., 2022, p.81)
