Float or Sink - Cool Science Experiment

From the video, we know that the presenter use hands-on science and inquiry-based to make learning more engaging and fun. The instructional design that he use is Behaviorism because he is showing to the viewer on how to make an experiment to see whether the cans float or sink.

Advantages of behaviorism; 1.Behavior is shaped quickly.

2.The leaner adapts to the environment.

3. Behavior can be measured.

4. Initially teaching machines were crude and cumbersome, but now programmes can be run on personal computers.

5.Student works at own pace. Disadvantages of behaviorism; 1.It does not account for all kinds of learning.

2. It does not explain some learning,research has shown that animals adapt their reinforced patterns to new information.

3. Whole class teaching does not suit slow or fast learners, just the average paced learners.

4.Analysis of a child’s behaviour takes time and involves careful observation and record keeping.
