Behavioral Science. Theoretical Models of Learning and Methodological Practices for Teaching


Abstract

In the first part of this work we focused on the main protagonists of the behaviorist movement (until the 1950s) in order to highlight its most significant aspects. In the second part of this work, however, we will focus on the early methodological models prompted by the main scholars of behavioral science: this development should not be seen as a linear one, since the pedagogical-didactic research has contributed in perfecting its structure despite its weaknesses, especially in Italy, on the empirical-experimental side.
