As much as we might want to enlighten the community about " progressive formalization" (Bransford et al,2000), it won't be that easy
We could do our best to bring about change, but ultimately, the change must be accepted by the school structure in which learning occurs.
Unless there is acceptance of a new way of thinking, all efforts will be in vain.
That doesn't mean we should not change. We must always future proof our
teaching skills

I would adhere to the behaviorist method of classroom management because it is simpler to observe the change when it is explicitly stated in the objectives.
My Teaching
pedagogics
I only need to expand my
Behaviorist-dominated teaching styles

the behaviorist methodology.
Students must achieve high marks
on the examination.
