Human Behavior: Free Will or Behavioral Determinism?
Skinner's behaviourist approach challenges the notion of free will and emphasises the role of the environment in human behaviour. The role of the teacher is crucial in this scheme, acting as an agent of change through reinforcement methods. The debate on nature versus nurture remains relevant and complex, and intelligence tests, although useful, must be applied with caution to avoid their potential pitfalls.
@Diana Marcela Calderón Vargas,
In my opinion I still give superiority to Skinner theory than Pavlof. However, students as humans do not have a 100 percent of freedom but they're not captured by environmental factors. Their free will is getting controll, take a step to growth, make logical beliefs by someone else's will; that means teacher, who has a sensitive job, Because students are like Sculpting dough and teacher should give them shapes and identity. This is the point where it shows teacher's capability and class management.
This is absolutely true because teachers play a very vital and crucial role for the development of students' behavior. Skinner's behaviorist's approach says that behaviors are learned through conditioning by giving rewards and punishments.
