behaviorist perspective

One of my favorite teachers in high school was Mr. Pira.  He used the behaviorist perspective alot when he taught. One example of this is to review for tests we would play jeopardy.  He would split the class into teams and then ask each team different questions. Whenever a team would answer a question right he would praise them.  If you answered wrong he would not yell but you could just sense that he was disappointed which was even worse because no one wanted to let him down.  Which ever team won the game he would reward with bonus points for the test or candy bars.  Everyone always strived to impress him and worker hard in his class.  When I get to teach a class of my own it is very likely that will imply similar strategies to achieve maximum participation from my class. The whole class would would be eager to participate during his jeopardy games in hope for his verbal praise or his reward of bonus points.  If using rewards will maximize class participation then
I will be sure to be a behaviorist perspective teacher.
