CONTRIBUTION TO BEHAVIORISTIC THEORY IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

Education is a way to improve something over a period of time. First, education is a learning process, where there are still many teachers who distribute material to students without understanding what teaching methods are used. This becomes the basis of learning in the classroom and is related to the goals and objectives of the learning itself. One such approach is a behavioristic approach with behavioral or motivational feedback from students. Behavioristic theory has a significant contribution in learning Indonesian. This theory emphasizes the importance of external stimuli and responses that are observed in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to determine the contribution of behavioristic theory in learning Indonesian. Researchers used library research methods to find out the contribution of teaching with a behavioral approach. The results include (1) the contribution of student character analysis; (2) developing media and teaching strategies; (3) build students' self-confidence.
