How would you use operant conditioning for classroom management? Consider PR, NR, PP, NP, reinforcement schedules, primary and secondary reinforcers.
How would you use observational learning for classroom management?
You will need to look for online resources for how teachers address misbehaviors. Be sure to reference these sources. The websites you find will likely not identify the specific operant conditioning procedures each classroom management strategy uses, so you will need to identify that.
