MODULE 1 – LEARNERS’ BEHAVIOR
Lesson P1: Learners’ Social Behavior
Learning Outcomes: Classroom Social Learning Theory Learning Plan
Hello Students,
Welcome to Lesson P1. In this lesson, you are expected to observe learners and how they behave in a class environment. You must look
into the different aspects considered and document your observations on the tables provided. In order to process your feelings and thoughts
together with linking it to practice, series of questions and situations are provided for you to answer.
Happy Learning!
Objectives
I must be able to identify and understand the behavior of learners in different aspects and how these imply to the teaching and
learning process.
ACTIVITY
OBSERVATION GUIDE FOR THE LEARNERS’ SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
Instructions:

learners.
2. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
3. Can the learners already work independently?
4. Do they act appropriately with other learners? How about to their teacher?
5. You can ask for teacher's assistance for more detailed information.
6. Look into the different aspects and use the Activity sheet provided for you to document
your observations.

MODULE 1 – LEARNERS’ BEHAVIOR
Lesson P1a: Behavioral Support Management
Learning Outcomes: Behavior Management Intervention Strategies: Case Study
Hello Students!
This will be your final lesson in Module 1. In this task, you will observe the consequence patterns of the learner's behavior. In what
behaviour will the student elicit positive and negative support from the teacher, and how will the teacher do that? Is it successful or not? In the
end, you will be ask to make a behavioural plan and intervention strategy to a case you have just observed, applying the Behavioral Learning
theories.
Happy Learning!
Objectives
I will examine how positive and negative support can be properly applied in the teaching-learning process.
ACTIVITY
Observation Guide

Students Response
Stimulus Sample
(Elicit or not)
Something introduced into the
environment that the students can
respond to
Variety of Media: recordings,
videos, photos, text, etc.(Multiple
ways to introduce new material)
Variety of Strategies: Audio, Visual,
Kinesthetic, etc.(Multiple ways to
teach a desired behavior)
b. Is there a reinforcement or punishment being introduced following a desired or undesired behavior?
c. What kinds of behaviors on the part of the student elicit reinforcement and punishment consequence from the teacher?
d. What are the examples of reinforcement and punishment the teacher used?
e. What kinds of reinforcement and punishment seem to be the most successful?
Page 8 of 15
Examples of Reinforcement or Punishment Successful/
Students Behavior
(Positive or Negative) Not Successful
Reflection:
1. Does the teacher provide timely feedback when a student performs appropriate/ inappropriate behaviors?
2. Is the teacher consistent with the reinforcement and punishment they are presenting?
3. Do the reinforcement/punishment coincide with the behavior the teacher is trying to encourage/discourage?
4. What kinds of things you learned through the process of classical and operant conditioning?
5. Can you think of an example in your life of how classical conditioning has produced a positive emotional response,
such as happiness or excitement? How about a negative emotional response, such as fear, anxiety or anger?

LEARNING PORTFOLIO
Print and paste pictures, at least 4, of teacher-student interactions during the class and explain the scenario of each picture.
MODULE SUMMARY
We hope that you see the importance of paying attention to the learner's behavior having an influence to the learners learning process and its
various dimension in your work as a future teacher. Understanding your students as learners – with their diverse behaviors, unique goals,
motivations, beliefs and learning practices will help you become a better future teacher.
