Humanistic vs. Behaviorist part 1
Again I the fruits of my research online about School Assessment combined with a spark from my always interesting class of Psychology. In class we began to talk about the approaches to studying psychology and the two we were comparing and contrasting were Behaviorism and Humanism. Psychology is the backbone in our education system it basically decides every decision involving the school system. It ranges from how to stop pregnancy among teenage girls to the colors they use to paint the school. These people get paid a lot of money to come up with new and better ways to solve our problems (we need to get a refund). So far of school systems have mostly adopted a Humanistic approach, not just here in Memphis but nationwide. It’s been this way for sometime but we use to rely on Behaviorism but that stopped. I think that our problems have grown from the humanistic approach and the behaviorist approach would be better, but like everything problems will come but I think the problems presented with a behaviorist approach would be more manageable than those using the humanistic approach. The next two blogs I going to compare each of them strengths and weaknesses.
