Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behaviorist teachers focus on reinforcing desired behaviors with positive consequences, so they are alert and able to follow up with appropriate consequences when a child exhibits a desired behavior. They do not necessarily believe in standing back and letting children discover for themselves or asking questions that help children solve problems on their own. Providing a variety of experiences for children to explore and experiment can be part of the behaviorist approach, but it is not the main emphasis.
