2. The teacher should note that learning is not new knowledge but acquired new behavior.
3. The teaching environment shapes the behavior of a learner.
4. Students should be given positive reinforcement by teachers to motivate learners.
5. Teachers should not give too much negative reinforcement to the learners while teaching.
