Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
For Tuesday class, Mdm Lihanna starts new lesson with subtopic from chapter 4, schedules of reinforcement. There are two types of schedules reinforcement which are continuous reinforcement and partial reinforcement. In continuous reinforcement, Mdm Lihanna said that The desired behavior
Is reinforced every single time it occurs. It means, every response is reinforced. On the other hand, in partial reinforcement, there are several types of partial reinforcement which are fixed-ratio schedules, variable-ratio schedules, fixed-interval schedules and variable-interval schedules.
     Here, we. Put some examples that related with 4 types of partial schedules in case for better understanding.For first types, fixed-ratio schedules: reinforcement occurs after a set number of responses, predictable. E.g.. For every 10 A's you get on exam, you get to pick out a new hand phone.
Second types, variable-ratio schedules: reinforcement is still based on number of responses, however now it is unpredictable how many responses are needed to get the reinforcement. E.g.. Fishing. You may catch a fish every times you cast out your line, or you may catch a fish after one cast, then 5 more, then after 2 more, etc,etc. The following types of partial reinforcement, fixed-interval schedules: reinforcement is received after a set amount of time, regardless of number of responses during that time. E.g.. Every 30min someone walks by your desk and drops off rm5 each time, provided that you are actually working at that moment. The last types of partial reinforcement, variable-interval schedules: reinforcement is still based on amount of time that passed between responses, not number of responses. Time that passes between reinforcement is unpredictable-leads to slow, steady rate of responses. E.g.. Someone walks by your desk at random times (means that unpredictable to you) and drops off a rm5 each time they pass, if you are actually working at that moment.
    For the last 30 minutes, Mdm Lihanna give us pop quiz. Everybody got shocked and surprised because of unpredictable task. However, alhamdulillah..Allah make ease for us for answering quiz that given by Mdm Lihanna. Although we are little bit of unprepared, but it give us new challenge.:)
And also, this pop quiz gives us new lesson that every time we come to class, at least we must touch,hug and read the book. So that, next time we not surprised anymore with this kind of event.
Thank you Mdm! :)

For Thursday class, Mdm Lihanna started the class usual. After recitation of do'a as to get Barakah from Allah, Mdm Lihanna begins her teaching with new subtopic that we not covered yet last class which are effective forms of punishment and ineffective forms of punishment. For effective forms of punishment, there are several forms of it which are verbal reprimands, restitution and over correction, time-out, in house suspension and response cost. In contrast, the ineffective forms of punishment are physical punishment, physiological punishment, extra class work, out-of-school suspension and missing recess. After we all get an ideas about the forms of punishment, which one can do for punishment and which one not suitable for punishment, we feel so excited to apply it in the group task and of course in the real life also.
Thanks Mdm for create the great learning environment and may Allah bless you always..:)
