ESENSI TEORI BEHAVIORISME DAN PANDANGANNYA TERHADAP MEDIA DAN TEKNOLOGI PEMBELAJARAN SERTA RELEVANSINYA DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Abstract

The behaviorist school of thought emphasizes the principle of stimulus and response as a change
in behavior. In determining several education policies in Indonesia, this behaviorist ideology still
dominates, especially in policies that are fundamental and principled, as seen especially in the
2003 National Education System Law. For this reason, behaviorist education policies need to
look at the reality on the ground and take an approach innovative in the learning process,
including alignment in Islamic education. However, the readiness of various elements of the
education system is the determining factor. Therefore, educational policies that are relevant to
the demands of change must be supported by all educational actors, including other educational
components. This article discusses various things regarding behaviorism, including the theory of
behaviorism according to several figures; the main characteristics of behavioristic theory and its
learning principles; the concept of reward and fun in behaviorist learning theory; the relevance of
behaviorism learning theory to Islamic education; the role of media and technology in
Behavioristic Learning; the dominance of the behavioristic approach in the formulation of
education policy in Indonesia and several criticisms expressed against the behaviorist school
