Behaviour Modification Approach
The basic principles of the behavioural modification approach
are as follow:
• Behaviour is shaped by its consequences, not by its causes of
problems in the history of the individual or by group
conditions.
• Behaviour is strengthened by immediate reinforcements.
Positive reinforces are praise or rewards. Negative
reinforcements take away or stop something that the
student doesn’t like.
• Behaviour is strengthened by systematic reinforcement
(positive or negative). Behaviour is weakened if not followed
by reinforcement.

Continued…..
• There are several types of reinforcers, each of which
may be positive or aversive.
• Examples of positive reinforcers are:
(a) Social reinforcers, such as verbal comments (“Right”,
“Correct”, “That’s good”), facial expressions, and
gestures.
(b) Graphic reinforcers, such as written words of
encouragement, gold stars, and checks.
(c) Tangible reinforcements, such as cookies and badges
for young students and certificates and notes to parents
for older students.
(d) Activity reinforcers, such as being a monitor near the
teacher for young students and working with a friend or
on a special project for older students.

Group Managerial Approach
• Teacher should respond immediately towards
the student’s behaviour.
• That might be inappropriate or undesirable in
order to prevent problems.
• If a student misbehaves and the teacher stops
the misbehaviour immediately then students
realize and do not make problem.
• If the misbehaviour is ignored or continue for
too long, it often spreads throughout the group
and becomes more serious and chronic.

which is a key for successful classroom management.

• Successful teacher monitors student work in a
systematic way.
• He clearly describes acceptable and unacceptable
behaviours in his class.
• The successful teacher ability to carry student’s
attention easily from one activity to another.

Group Guidance Approach
• Disciplinary problems have three main causes:
Individual case history: the problem is related to the psychological
disturbance of one child.
Group conditions: the problem reflects unfavorable conditions in the
group.
Mixture of individual and group causes: The problem centers around
an individual, but is triggered by something in the group.
• The teacher must understand the needs, interest of a group and be
able to manipulate the surface behavior of that group.
Dissatisfaction with classroom work.
Poor interpersonal relations.
Disturbances in group climate.
Poor group organization .

Continued…..
• One of the most difficult decision-making tasks for the
teacher is dealing with an aggressive group.
• When group members act together to disobey and
resist the teacher’s efforts, the teacher may react by
trying to match force with force.
• In some cases the teacher’s behavior is problem for
making idle threats, displaying frequent bursts of
emotion, giving assignments that lack interest.

Acceptance Approach
• It identifies 4 mistaken goals:
Attention getting: they want other students or the teacher to
pay attention to them.
Power seeking: their defiance is expresses in arguing,
contradicting, teasing, temper tantrums, and low – level
hostile behavior.
Revenge seeking: their mistaken goal is to hurt others to make
up for being hurt or feeling rejected and loved.
Withdrawal: if students feel helpless and rejected, the goal of
their behavior may become withdrawal from the social
situation, rather that confrontation.
