Behavioural Teaching: A Fact of Life?
Farrell, Peter
British Journal of Special Education, v19 n4 p145-48 Dec 1992
This paper outlines, and refutes, concerns about structured behavioral teaching methods for children with learning difficulties. Concerns addressed include overly heavy reliance on extrinsic rewards, emphasis on learning without understanding, failure to allow students to learn from their mistakes, teaching out of context, and little use of interactive teaching.
