Social learning theory suggests that behaviors are learned partially through the interactions a person has with others. Under the theory of Albert Bandura, the social environment and personal factors influence behaviors that will impact the classroom environment. In order to promote positive interactions in the classroom, which of the following should a teacher NOT do?
  1. Offer motivations for accomplishing a task
  2. Discipline an individual in a public setting
  3. Model positive interactions during a student conflict
  4. Offer extrinsic rewards to students for accomplishing a task
Explanation
Answer: B - Discipline an individual in a public setting. Discipline should be conducted privately, except in extreme instances. Public disciplining can cause an embarrassment for the student that will impact their social realm, and may be much unappreciated. It is the least successful way to promote positive interactions.
