👉 In education, a behaviorist is someone who studies human behavior and how it can be influenced by various factors such as learning styles, motivation, and cognitive development. They believe that children learn through observation of their teachers and adults in the classroom, and that they are more likely to learn if they see success and achievement. Behavioralists also emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement and punishment in teaching, as well as the role of scaffolding and support in helping students develop the skills needed for learning.
