| Abstract | ||||
| Educators from behaviourist theory’s perspective can shape the behaviour and responses of learners to a specific stimulus in order to help them acquire new knowledge.. Research has been performed, previously, into how students learn and gain information, and how to encourage it. Most of the research fixated on the tutors acting as the organisers. Very little research has been executed concerning students acting as the organisers. Therefore, this study was intended to review the role of behaviourist theory in educational technology The purpose of this piece of work is to demonstrate the central features of behaviourist theory and discuss the extent to which this theory can be said to have inspired the design of educational technology. This paper provides a historical summary of the behaviourist theory, explains the theory’s main features, and describes how the theory was applied in practice with giving examples in which to explain how to activate it in the educational context. Finally, the paper presents an example of educational technology through the Propagate platform, the design of which is based on behaviourist theory, and which is used in education to emphasise and facilitate teaching and learning. | ||||
