Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model and when to use it


 Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model
It is a module of discipline that is concerned with shaping desired behavior. This model is related to Skinner’s new ideas that were taken from him by other writers and used by them to shape students’ behavior in class, so it was not proposed by him. (Andrius, 2013)
It is about behavior modification that teachers need to have in their classes with students in order to have good classroom management especially for young teacher. This model states that “Behavior is conditioned by its consequences. Behavior is strengthened if followed immediately by reinforcement and it is weakened if it is not reinforced.” (Allen, 1996)
There are 3 steps before adapting this model.

First, the teacher should do an analysis to determine concerns and decide what the desired behavior should be.
Second, the teacher should develop a plan and connect the desired behaviors she/he wishes to accomplish, with the reinforcements and the consequences needed to achieve them.
Third, the teacher should implement the plan by reviewing and clarifying rules; describing and enforcing the consequences and teaching lessons that are as interested as possible. (Bacon, 2009)

Otherwise, I feel like it doesn't work with teachers and schools who believe in the importance of building up individuals who are unique, who can find solutions to problems and conflicts and surpass challenging situations.
