Behaviourism Theory (BF Skinner)

It is believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of
an action and its consequences. This approach is also known as operant conditioning.
The view is that if the behavior is followed by pleasant consequences, it is likely to be
repeated, but if the behavior is followed by unpleasant consequences, it is less likely to
be repeated.

For instance, if you tried to smoke at school and the outcome was that you were
accepted by the group you wanted to be with, you have received positive reinforcement
and are likely to continue this behavior, however if you were detected and were expelled
as a punishment, you are less likely to smoke today.

Choice Theory (William Glasser)

Glasser emphasizes that a person is in charge of their emotions and actions.

Because of this, conflict inevitably emerges as we have power over ourselves. The
William Glasser’s theory promotes the idea that every action is chosen. All human
conduct, is motivated by the need to satisfy five fundamental human needs.

This also makes the case that everything we do is meant to satisfy one (or more)
of these five fundamental human needs. As we develop more self-control, we can make
wiser and more responsible choices.

Assertive Discipline Theory (Canter)

According to this theory, the teacher controls every aspect of the classroom.
However, rather than acting as a strict teacher, he or she puts more effort into creating
a strategy for rewarding positive behaviors. According to Canter, a calm yet assertive
teacher maintains structure and order in the classroom to create a setting that is secure,
calm, and appropriate for learning.
