Key Concept of Tolman's Theory on Purposive Personal Message

Behaviorism

1. Learning is always purposive and goal 1.1 To make my students do what I require
directed them to do, I should state the goal clearly and
specifically.

1.2. It is simpler for the students to

concentrate on the crucial subjects they must
master when they have a clear objective in
mind.

1.3. Without a goal, learning is useless. There

won't be any incentive for students to show
up to class and participate in the conversation.

2. Cognitive maps help students perform well. 2.1. Visual learners can acquire knowledge
Organisms select the shortest or easiest path quickly and effectively through cognitive
to achieve a goal. maps.

2.2. Cognitive maps allow the learners to learn

more rapidly and effectively.

3. Latent learning stays with the individual 3.1. It is simpler for students to do effectively
until needed. if they have prior understanding of the
subject. They can also expand upon the
knowledge and abilities they already possess.

3.2. Familiarity helps the learners to apply

their newly acquired knowledge as their prior
knowledge is already existent

4. Learning is influenced by expectation, 4.1. Learning requires a lot of focus and

perception, representations, needs and other attention. When a person's mind is active,
internal variables like hunger they frequently become distracted and lose
 focus. Learning becomes useless as a result.

4.2. When a student's needs are not met, it

affects their behavior, which makes learning
challenging.

4.3. Thus, it is crucial that we, as teachers, pay

attention to our students' needs and
behaviors in addition to their education.
Within the school, we serve as the student's
second set of parents. It's critical to interact
with the students and give them a sense of
security and comfort while they are on
campus.

1.1. As others say, "Experience is the best

teacher" amidst lecture, it is important to
provide examples for the leamers to
1. Principles: People can learn by observing understand the topic better. We incorporate
the behavior of others and the outcomes of experiences of others, even our own, to give
those behaviors and clarify the ideas being taught. Through
this experience, We are demonstrating what
should be done and how through this
experience. The leamers who watch learn
more about the subject being discussed in this
way.

1.2. Students gain knowledge through

observational learning when they see the
outcome of someone else's behavior.
Therefore, we act as the examples for them to
follow.
2. Modeling: The imitated behavior itself leads 2.1 Learners who get benefits from their
to reinforcing consequences. mimicked behavior reward it with positive
reinforcement. We give them the information
they require as their teacher. Additionally, we
must give them training so they may hone
their newly acquired abilities, which will
ultimately be their greatest asset.

2.2 It's critical that we, as their teachers,

recognize their accomplishments. They will be
more motivated to learn as a result. To assist
them in achieving their goals and discovering
their purpose, we persuade and encourage
them.

3. Four Conditions for Effective Modeling: 3.1. Confident students are more likely to be
Motivation-the learners must want to motivated to work and demonstrate their
demonstrate what they have learned. abilities. Encouragement from you as their
teacher and your acknowledgement of their
accomplishments will aid them in developing
self-efficacy.

3.2. The motivation of the student will also be

greatly increased by creating a comfortable
setting. The negative impacts on the learner's
progress and emotional condition will be
lessened by incentives, rewards, and
encouragement. In order to encourage pupils
to demonstrate their skills, it is crucial to keep
them motivated.
