Practical Uses of Modeling, Feedback, and Practice—Specification of Some Behaviors for Pupils, Teachers, and Supervisors

Abstract

Shaping and acquiring new behavior can be facilitated through techniques called practice, modeling, and feedback. The paper also deals with the portrayal of desired behavior such as what it is the individual is to say or do. Identified discrete behaviors and behavior clusters subsequently become target behaviors for teacher training, classroom instruction, and teacher supervision. The emphasis here is upon building a repertoire of skills to enable individuals to perform tasks they seek to accomplish.
