Behavioral Approach-

This is an approach to psychology that focuses on how


one's environment and how external stimuli affect a
person's mental states and development and how these
factors specifically "train" a person for the behaviors they
will be exhibiting later on.
The humanistic approach 
Emphasizes the personal worth of the individual, the
centrality of human values, and the creative, active nature
of human beings. The approach is optimistic and focuses
on the noble human capacity to overcome hardship, pain
and despair.
Authentic tasks are easy to identify as they are what we do
with our own language all the time. Examples include phoning
for information, preparing a party, planning a holiday,
answering e-mail, preparing reports, holding a meeting and
filling in application forms.
Goal orientation refers to students' reasons for engaging in
various achievement behaviors in a particular situation. These
reasons may be to learn (a mastery orientation), to do better
than others (a performance-approach orientation) or to avoid
failure (a performance-avoidance orientation).
The cognitive perspective is concerned with “mental” functions
such as memory, perception, attention, etc.
The learning goal is the backbone of a lesson and provides the “reason” for teaching and
observing it. Teams usually begin by selecting a subject, concept, theme, or topic in the course
they want to study. Many are drawn to topics that are particularly difficult for students to learn or
for teachers to teach.
