Notes We keep this type of model under the behavior modification because they focus on the modifi cation of

external behavior of the learner and describe them in terms of direct behavior, not in terms of the behavior,
which is contained in and is not visible. Skinner’s theory which is also called as apparent instruction, is
used in many areas such as education and other areas from military training to patient’s treatment.
The families of models described above are not separated from each other. A few of them describe the
methods for the development of teaching actions, although they belong to different families yet most of
them emphasize on the similar methods. In addition, the model of the same family - things related to the
objectives and learning activities in which they are formulated, are the same. Different people give different
meanings to educational activities. In this context, we can say that every task we perform is a personal one.
Similarly, most of the experience especially educational are intellectual or to acquire knowledge.

Increased efficiency in education can be said to have dominated the teaching model. When teacher’s
ability to use the model effectively increases then the efficiency is also increased. Good teachers develop

new models of teaching and test them during their teaching period.
