The evaluation is developed through two academic proceedings which are distinct, but interrelated a discursive argumentation based on a proper bibliographical research is complemented by an empiric exploratory field study. The discursive critical analysis of radical behaviorism is firstly carried out on a historical and academic perspective which is mainly and, continuously referred to B. F. Skinner - the individual agent who is basically responsible by the gradual process of constitution of this scientific system. The second part presents a more impersonal discussion of radical behaviorism. The theoretical background of this discussion brings together philosophy of science and human social relations, as well as ethics that is implicated in the practical interventions in such relations. An exploratory study is introduced it consists on a judgement of the potential utility of a popular political education instrument, which was previously elaborated following the basic radical behaviorist principles and their psychosocial extensions. This instrument is directed to adults of both sexes, social-economically underprivileged, and having taken all or most of all eight grades of elementary school. An evaluation of this Cartitha de Contracontolre social is obtained by using semi-structured interviews and a short objective questionnaire, which are applied to fourteen informers. These informers are qualified by their leadership and/or militancy in neighbourhood and favelas residents associations, workers trade unions, religious community centers autonomous assistance agencies, and employees associations in work organizations. The results of their evaluation are, in general, very favorable. The initiative is considered to be extremely serious and responsible, and the contents of the Cartilha are viewed as very compatible with the objectives of these popular, movements, as well as very useful to endow their activities with a greater social efficacy. However, a generalized restriction is showed in what it concerns the possibility of the population to which the Cartilha is directed to understand the text; this indicates the necessity of a reformulation of the text for future projects of carrying on with this trend of research. It is finally concluded that this work is able to contribute; if divulged enough, to the promotion of a greater interest for Skinnerian behaviorism in the academical environment of Rio de Janeiro, as well as to the production of a more efficacious exercise of countercontrol in regard to the current aversive and/or exploratory practices of social control. / o presente trabalho tem como objetivo a avaliação da capacidade do behaviorismo radical skinneriano'para fundamentar aplicações práticas dotadas de efetiva relevância humana e social, assim definidas em' função do caráter politicamente progressista e democratizante que se lhes possa imprimir. Essa avaliação é desenvolvida através de dois distintos, mas interrelacionados, procedimentos acadêmicos: uma argumentação discursiva baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica pertinente, que se complementapor um estudo empírico de campo a nível exploratório. A apreciação discursiva do behaviorismo radical é inicialmente conduzida sob uma perspectiva histórico-acadêmica, cujo foco contínuo de referência é o próprio agente individual basicamente responsável pelo gradativo processo de constituição desse sistema científico - B. F. Skinner. Em uma da etapa, o behaviorismo radical vem a ser discutido deforma mais impessoalizada, contra os sucessivos panos de fundo da filosofia da ciência, das relações sociais humanas e da ética implicada nas intervenções práticas sobre tais relações. O estudo exploratório, que então-se segue, consiste no julgamento da utilidade potencial de um instrumento de educação política popular, elaborado previamente a partir dos princípios behavioristas radicais básicos e seus desdobramentos psicossociológicos, e destinado a uma clientela sócio-economicamente desprivi1egiada, constituída de indivíduos adultos, de ambos os sexos, com escolaridade 'em torno do 19 grau completo. A avaliação dessa Cartilha de Contracontole Social através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas e um breve questionário objetivo, por quatorze lnformantes - qualificados em termos de sua 1iderança e/ou militância em associações de moradores de bairros e de favelas, sindicatos de trabalhadores, núcleos comunitários re1igiosos, entidades assistenciais autônomas e associações de servidores em organizações de trabalho - vem a apresentar, em linhas gerais, resultados muito positivos. A iniciativa é considerada extremamente séria e responsável; e o conteúdo da Carti1ha, bastante compatível com os objetivos desses movimentos populares, assim como muito útil para dotar as suas atividades de uma maior eficácia social. Evidencia-se, não obstante, uma restrição generalizada quanto à possibilidade de compreensão do texto por parte da população-alvo; o que deve, portanto, ensejar sua reformu1ação para o emprego em futuros projetos de prosseguimento dessa linha de pesquisa. Conclui-se, enfim, que a tese em seu todo parece apta a contribuir, se suficientemente divulgada, para a promoção de um maior interesse pelo behaviorismo de Skinner no âmbito acadêmico do Rio de Janeiro, bem como para a produção de um exercício mais eficaz de contracontro1e sobre as atuais práticas aversivas e/ou exploratórias de controle social.

A Análise do Comportamento de B. F. Skinner (AC) é conhecida por negar o status casual atribuído às instâncias cognitivas, mas tem, ao mesmo tempo, que lidar com o fato dos organismos não responderem a todos os elementos presentes no mundo que os cerca. Este trabalho pretendeu avaliar as propostas interpretativas de autores da AC quanto ao fenômeno do prestar atenção. Num primeiro momento, foram avaliados os padrões de publicação de artigos sobre esse tema em periódicos da AC e foi avaliado o grau de comunicação entre as áreas de pesquisa aplicada e básica. Num segundo momento, empreendeu-se uma reconstrução conceitual do prestar atenção. Os resultados alcançados apontam uma pobre comunicação entre as pesquisas básica e aplicada, o que ganha certo apoio na reconstrução conceitual onde se sugere que as duas áreas fazem usos diferentes do termo nos textos analisados, de modo que a literatura aplicada não parece estar preocupada com o estudo de um processo psicológico básico sob o rótulo de prestar atenção. Na reconstrução conceitual indentificaram-se duas possibilidades conceituais para a expressão prestar atenção, ambas coerentes com o Behaviorismo Radical: o prestar atenção poderia ser entendido como (a) o componete comportamental encoberto precorrente que facilita/possibilita o controle de estímulos ou como (b) uma classe ampla de processos comportamentais que compreende desde a simples verificação de existência de controle de estímulos... / Paying attention is a concept which has been studied from the fundation of the first experimental psychology laboratory to today and is usually understood as cognitive process which selects stimuli that organisms must respond to B. F. Skinner's Behavior Analysis (BA) is well known for neglecting the casual status attributed to that cognitive instances, however, it needs to deal with the fact that organisms do not respond to every element of the world that surrounds it. This work intent to evaluate the interpretative proposals of BA to the paying attention concept. In a first moment, the articles publishing patterns about this subject matter in BAS journals and the degree of communication between basic and applied research fields were evatuate. In a second moment, a conceptual reconctruction of pay Attention was made. The results reached point to a poor communication between basic and applied fields, what receives some support in the conceptual reconstruction where it is suggested that the two areas use the expression diffrenty in the analised texts, in a way that the applied literature seems not to do any reference to paying attention as basic psychological process. In the conceptual reconstruction were identified two possibilities of conceptualization for pay attention, both coherent whit Radical Behaviorism: The paying attention can be understood as (a) a covert precorrent behavioral component that improve/allows the formation of stimulus control or as (b) a large class of behavioral process which includes from the simple verifcation of stimulus to observation of the emission of precorrent responses that improve/allows the formation of stimulus control, to the inference of the ocurrence of these behaviors but in a covert level. It is suggested that the second posibility is more adequate given the politic role... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Nesse contexto, não cabem propostas pautadas no senso comum ou na prática diária sem objetivo. O Behaviorismo Radical de Burrhus F. Skinner (1904-1990), enquanto filosofia da Análise do Comportamento, proporciona aos professores embasamento teórico para um ensino eficaz, direcionado e mensurável. Porém, a literatura demonstra que as propostas de Skinner para a educação trazem consigo volumosas críticas e as práticas educacionais atuais estão pautadas em teorias que não têm apresentado bons resultados. Dessa maneira, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar e analisar a aceitação ou rejeição às ideias de Skinner sobre educação, a partir da aplicação de um instrumento contendo citações retiradas do livro Tecnologia do Ensino, de Skinner (1968/1972) e uma questão aberta. Os procedimentos metodológicos descritos apresentam o processo de elaboração do instrumento, das categorias de análise, bem como a maneira de apuração dos resultados. A pesquisa foi aplicada para 992 professores formados em pedagogia, atuantes em escolas municipais, conveniadas e/ou privadas de São José do Rio Preto/SP, divididos em dois grupos (controle e experimental), nos quais os participantes respondiam ao instrumento indicando, em uma escala do tipo Likert, sua concordância ou discordância com cada uma das 23 citações e também indicavam nomes de estudiosos de educação na questão aberta. Ao grupo controle não era informado o nome do autor das citações. O grupo experimental, por sua vez, recebia essa informação. Os procedimentos de análise de dados foram determinados para comparar os resultados a partir da média dos escores total e de cada uma das quatro categorias determinadas (ensino, aprendizagem, professor e aluno). A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir da média do escore, do teste t, de Student, e também de testes... / In order to ensure quality and efficacy of education a scientifical procedure is necessary. In such context, approaches based on common sense or thoughtless daily practice are not an option. The theory of Radical Behaviorism by Burrhus F. Skinner (1904-1990), as a philosophy for the Analysis of Behavior, provides teachers with theoretical basis for a more efficient, straightforward and measurable teaching. However, research demonstrates that Skinner's proposals for the education bring a huge amount of criticism and the current educational practices are based in theories that have yet to show good results. This works aims at investigating and analyzing the acceptance or rejection towards the ideas of Skinner about education using a research instrument with quotes from the author's book Technology of Teaching (1968/1972) and one open question. The methodological procedures describe the elaboration of the research instrument, the categories of analysis, as well as the result assessment criteria. The research was held in public and private city schools of São José do Rio Preto/SP and applied to 992 teachers graduated in Education (Pedagogia) divided in two groups (experimental and control) in which the participants answered questions on the research instrument choosing in a Likert type scale their agreement or disagreement with each of the 23 quotes proposed. They also had to indicate the names of important authors in the theories of Education in the open question. The control group was not informed of the author's name while the experimental group received such information. The analytical procedures were determined to compare the result from the average of the total scores and from each of the four categories defined (learning, teaching, student and teacher). The data analysis was taken from the average of the score, from test t, of Student, and also in non-parametrical tests (chi-squared). The results...

Before the acquisition of speaker-as-own-listener (SOL) where individuals demonstrate verbal governance of their own overt and covert behavior (Skinner, 1957), individuals have to have the correspondence between listening to one’s own voice and doing, which I name self-listening. Self-listening is defined as the correspondence between listening to one’s own voice and doing in two forms: listening to one’s own voice and doing in isolation, and joining of print with listening to one’s own voice after reading aloud and doing. I conducted two experiments to investigate the establishment of self-listening in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I evaluated two different topographies of the target behavior: listen-to-own-voice-do (LOVD), which is defined as the correspondence between listening to one’s own voice and doing in isolation, and read-aloud-do (RAD), which is defined as the correspondence between reading aloud and doing. As Skinner (1957) explained, reading is an extension of listening. When individuals are reading, they see print, say print, and then hear themselves. For that reason, listening to one’s own voice was targeted as one dependent variable and reading aloud as a second to compare the participants’ performance on both topographies accurately, as RAD includes both a listening and a reading component, while LOVD includes a listening component only. Using a multiple probe design across participants, I analyzed the participants’ performance in the two different topographies, LOVD and RAD, across two different tasks: a drawing task and a building task. The participants had to follow written directions in RAD and spoken directions in LOVD to produce a drawing in the drawing task and a construction in the building task. The dependent variables were identical across Experiments I and II, but varied in terms of the measurement system for the building task. In Experiment I, the intervention was listener instruction and in Experiment II the intervention was listener and reader instruction, in which I utilized the learn unit (Albers & Greer, 1991) in presenting the instruction and consequating the participants’ correct and incorrect responses. The intervention in both experiments was presented in the form of a treasure hunt where the participants had to complete a 20-step treasure hunt accurately to earn a desired reinforcer. The results of both experiments showed that the dependent variables, LOVD and RAD, were established across all participants. There were limitations in Experiment I, which were addressed in Experiment II. Keywords: self-listener, self-listening, listening, following instructions, spoken instructions, written instructions, joining of print, say-do correspondence, speaker-as-own- listener, listen-do correspondence, read-do correspondence, reading comprehension, listening comprehension.

The problem of this study was to effect a comparative study of B. F. Skinner and John Dewey with respect to the development of a technology of teaching. The purposes of this study were to analyze and compare the writings of Dewey and Skinner as they relate to the development of a technology of teaching, to synthesize the findings of this analysis and comparison and direct it to the technology of teaching, and to create and enumerate new insights into the teaching phenomena. The procedures for completing the study were based upon the selection of four basic constructs which allowed a framework on which to hang a comparative study of B. F. Skinner and John Dewey as their writings related to the development of a technology of teaching. These constructs were (1) naturalism and the scientific point of view; (2) knowledge and experience; (3) evolution and control of culture; and (4) the philosophy of education as it relates to the technology of teaching. The methods used to complete the study were the analysis and synthesis of Dewey's and Skinner's writings and their relative positions to the four constructs mentioned were shown. Other authorities were also consulted in hopes that the positions of the two men might be delineated accurately. Certain selected passages of each man's writings were presented and compared hoping to show clearly the relationship between the two men's writings and how they relate to the development of a teaching technology. Any person who is concerned about education, its processes, and its outcome has an opportunity to design and thereby improve the process by the adoption of a technology of teaching as prescribed by the analysis of Dewey and Skinner, or perhaps in consequence of attempting, in light of their writings, seriously to re-think what it is we believe and do.
