MOROZ, Melania    LUNA, Sergio Vasconcelos de. Teacher: professional of education! Reflections from the behaviorist standpoint. []. , 36, pp.115-121. ISSN 1414-6975.

This article presents B.F.Skinner's position about teachers' actions. The author have reflected systematically about Education, and its fundamental position to society, and considers that Behavior Analysis has contributions to the teaching action, but in the educational field there are inaccuracies and omissions about the position of the author. Therefore, it is important to present at least part of the aspects treated in The Technology of Teaching, book that is totally dedicated to Education. It is argued that the author's positions contributes for a best teaching and that his proposals shouldn't be excluded from the debate between teachers and researchers of education.
