Behaviorism in Online Teacher Training

摘要

This research involves the study of Behaviorism in Online Teacher Education. Behaviorism theories were included in an online course in cognition and critical thinking in education as foundational psychological frameworks to apply to educational practice. Participants applied theoretical frameworks in instruction and learning design in the form of analyses, lessons and projects. Analyses were group discussions over the readings and their application to practice. Lesson Designs were full-length lessons for inclusion with applications of theory. Project Designs were group projects incorporating theory into an educational resource. Analyses, lessons and projects were analyzed for understanding and application of theory.
