behavioral approaches to teaching generally involve the following..Firstly,the teacher must breaking down the skills and information to be learned into small units.On the other hand,checking student's work regularly and providing feedback as well as encouragement(known as reinforcement).Teaching out of context..behaviorists generally belive that students can be taught best when the focus is diretly on the content to be taught.Behavioral instruction often takes the material out of the context in which it will be used.
Last but not least,direct or "teacher centered"instrcution.Lectures,tutorials,drills and demonstration,other forms of teacher controlled teaching tend to dominate behavioral classrooms.
