Freud stated that our personalities are made up of three parts the id, the ego and the superego. Each of these will develop with the child and will be subconsciously driven by childhood events and experiences.
Skinner believed that children will learn through experience . He promoted the theory that our learning is based on a certain behaviour. We will repeat experiences that we enjoy and avoid those that we do not enjoy. This also applies to learning too.A child who has been told they have done well at a certain
task will want to work at the task again and learn. Skinner said this was positive reinforcement.
Skinners behaviour is based on the way the child’s behaviour is affected by the environment and how we respond to their behaviour. His theory shows that we can influence behaviour in many different ways.
Skinner also found that if a child is being naughty and you respond to them this is them engaging with you therefore will try it again to get your attention again his theory was that if you ignore a child they will get bored of doing it and stop. unless they are doing something that could harm themselves.
Bandura was said to have developed the theory of social learning. His theory was that learning takes place through watching others rather than teaching. Children sometimes copy others without being told to. Teachers use the social learning theory as a way of understanding the behaviour of some of the children, especially in the cases of naughty children. When a child watches their teacher they are expected to behave in a in the same way. Therefore it is important for them to behave the way that is expected. By doing so, teachers or even TA's can help children progress in a way that is good for their own development.
Social pedagogy is a what to have said to bring together theories and concepts from psychology, sociology and education to make a holistic way of working with children and young adults. It’s a way of treating children as an equal, making sure that every child’s needs are met especially those children with special needs.
Where i help we reward good behavior, so the behavior will hopefully be repeated. We use Happy/thinking/sad face the children and the sad face for bad behavior, so the behavior is hopefully not repeated.
