2  Buchanan Primary (Haralson Co.)  Pre-kindergarten classroom with 22 students between the ages of 4 and 5.  There is a mixture of lower and middle-class income earning families.  1 head teacher, 1 supervisor, and 1 special education teacher  Attend school 4 days a week- Tuesday through Friday. Description:

3 Behavioral Learning Operant conditioning: Positive/Negative Reinforcement, Punishment Punishment: time-out Theories: Motivation: Extrinsic Motivation Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs: Psychological Safety Love and Belonging

4 Positive Reinforcement: Student E is acknowledged and rewarded through treasure box when following the rules. Student K is often ignored until he behaves badly. Punishment: Student K is often scolded and required to sit in time out through out every lunch period. Behavioral Learning

5 In order to find comfort students must feel that they belong. Maslow’s pyramid of basic needs shows some issues that Student K deals with outside of the classroom that inevitably effect his in class behavior. Before student K can fully reach his true potential he has to be able to climb the different levels of the pyramid. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:

6 Students K and E both work through extrinsic motivation. Fulfilling classroom expectations through rewards. This theory ties into both the behavioral learning and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Motivators in this select class included: Treasure Chest, Praise, Security, and belonging. Motivation

7 Student K Student E Student K: Depicts insecurity through sleep at home and family financial security. He shows improvement when asked to do his work and is rewarded with nice comments that give him a sense of belonging in the classroom. Student E: Shows trouble though operational conditioning. Student E is never fully punished for her actions so she only sees her “bad” behavior as a way to earn rewards from the teacher. She is given the opportunity to choose whether or not she should be in trouble on many occasions.
