ACTIVITY 4- Behaviourism
One thing I cannot ignore as a teacher, is the fact that whilst I am seeking to develop social ideals in students, I cannot negate or absent the process from a child's background. I need to investigate why a child behaves the way he or she does. It is a contextual thing. I cannot place everyone in the same mould. Interventions must vary for each child and each situtations must be dealt with on a case by case basis.

ACTIVITY 3- Social Cognitive Theory
As a teacher I have come to recognize that in my silence my students are learning from me even more so in my speech or actions. A teacher is then a model of certain ideals. Teaching incorporates both passive and active components that influence children's concept of school and who they are as a learner. A teacher must therefore always engage in reflection to ensure that he or she is on the cutting edge of the dynamics surrounding the relationship between teaching and learning.
