   Detect The Reinforcer


                            behavioristic school of thought in psychology interprets every observable behavior of living things as being motivated by some need. A behavior pattern is an explicitly expressed attempt of living thing to satisfy some need.

                       According to behaviorists repetition of a particular response of individual in a particular situation occurs only when there exists some reinforcing factor in his surroundings or in the individual himself.

                   So this school of psychology argues that , if you want to change the behavior pattern of an individual or a group as a whole,first of all you identify the reinforcing factor.
                      
          In my class there is a bunch of students in their adolescence who are victims of chronic laziness. I am a teacher dealing with students that belongs to rural area where importance of education has not permeated into the consciousness of society so as to ensure success in the modern world.
               In tandem with behaviorists I decided to search for the reinforcing factors. To my surprise, there were so many that function as blocks in the onward growth of students.But all these reinforces were in a state that can be manipulated by some conscious effort. Most of these weeds nourishes themselves on the ignorance of guardians and parents of students.
                    If laziness of a boy thrived upon lack of motivation, it was lack of discipline in the house ambiance that supported irregular pattern of learning in other. Yet another boy deceived his parents by sitting in front of study table but wallowing in his personal interests as his parents are deprived of means to make sure that he is utilizing his study time properly. Some parents do not know that spending too much time in front of TV can affect the studies of their wards. Some boys are under the wrong notion that the exam time preparation will suffice for a good result in the end. There were cases in which laziness was a byproduct of some personality disorder such as ADHD
                    
                               Behaviorists say , remove the reinforcing factor that contribute to the growth of a behavior little by little. Then behavior will disappear eventually. If today's class room dealings focus on this matter, we can improve the learning level of students in rural area, whose guardians are illiterate or nearly illiterate.  For this teachers need an in depth relationship with the students sitting in front of them.

Psychology has gone on from the behaviorists, who did a lot of damage. Human behavior is idiosyncratic, and not subject to formula, though depth psychology as formulated by the Jungians cultivated new ground and would do better except for the academicians.
