Behavior is an individual’s activity that is expressed through their relations with those around them (by deed or utterance).
Every behavior has a motive that pushes us to do it with the aim of obtaining a result that satisfies us through this behavior. Natural behavior is a functional behavior that may serve one or several functions; it seeks to satisfy a need within us, and if it does not achieve its functions, it will gradually disappear.
Human behavior does not occur in a vacuum, but in an environment or the presence of a specific stimulus, and it is the product of an individual\u2019s interaction with their environment, and because the environment changes, behavior also changes, and the relationship between human behavior and environment is a reciprocal relationship, as it is affected by it and affects it.
Behavior management: Changing behavior by controlling the circumstances related to it.
This includes three strategies: First: modifying undesirable behavior, second: establishing good behavior, and third: inculcating a new behavior.
Therefore, the expression of behavior management is better and more comprehensive than the expression of behavior modification. In today’s article, we briefly review the elements of the first strategy, and in the following articles we will present the elements of the second and third strategies and then discuss those elements in some detail.
First: modify unwanted behavior
Behavior Modification
The process of behavior modification is one of the most important techniques that are used to treat behavioral problems in children in general (normal or with special needs) to provide them with a better opportunity to adapt to their society naturally.
Modifying behavior aims to change it for the better through three means, and this is done in the natural environment and by regulating environmental conditions or variables, especially what happens after the behavior because behavior is based on its consequences.
Behavior modification focuses on the present, not on the past. It also focuses on the apparent behavior and not the hidden behavior. It depends on direct and repeated objective measurement. Experimental functional analysis is used to explain and modify behavior. It uses the scientific method that focuses on the use of executable methods, which effectiveness can be directly verified and it is also an educational approach rather than a therapeutic one, because it focuses on the use of positive methods.
(a) Withdrawing or depriving the child of some pleasant thing or taking it from them.
1 – Ignoring (a – changing the place, b – changing the subject).
Conditions: 1- Immediately after the behavior 2- Regular ignoring 3- Neutral facial expression 4- Ignoring the behavior, not the child
2 – Temporary isolation of the child from positive reinforcement (punishment corner)
Conditions: 1- A place in the classroom devoid of the child’s beloved things.
2- Not allowing the child to participate in an activity.
3- The atmosphere of the classroom should be positive so that the child is annoyed with being isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B – giving the child unpleasant things
1- Restricting the child\u2019s movement (abbreviated restriction) (holding the child\u2019s hand)
Conditions: 1- Quietly 2- Paying less attention to the child 3- Not talking to the child.
Disadvantages: It may turn into a child support if we make them feel the attention.
2 – Correction of the error or overcorrection..
Conditions: 1- Quietly and neutrally 2- Not talking to the child 3- Not giving instructions
C – Differential reinforcement (for other behaviors to prevent unwanted behavior)
Changing the environment 1 – Changing the activity 2 – Changing the organization of the class 3 – Using jokes during the lesson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
