CARVALHO, Gislayne de Souza; SILVA, Sarah Zuliani da; KIENEN, Nádia  and  MELO, Camila Muchon de. Ethical implications on behavior-goal proposition from the radical behaviorist perspective. Perspectivas [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.2, pp. 93-105. ISSN 2177-3548.

The goal of this study is to discuss ethical implications in behaviors-goal proposition, guided by radical behaviorism's philosophy. Studies that approach technology as Analysis of Behavior's contribution for Education and referring to the context of developing an educational technology that had its history in the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) by Keller and actually known as "Programming of Conditions to Development of Behaviors" were selected as well works related to the radical behaviorist ethics. After identifying the core of the radical behaviorist ethics, it was possible to establish links between that and the goal's behavior proposition considering any learning context. It was found that, regardless of who will intervene through education, these professionals should be able to identify and describe the contingencies that control their behavior to propose behaviors-goal and those that control the behavior to be developed by the learner. Taken such care, press up on relevant issues to one behaviorist ethics: balance when considering the individual's development and culture's strengthening of which it is part, which favors the reinforcement of behaviors both ontogenetic as cultural sphere. Establish relevant behaviors to be taught means to conduct a preliminary ethical evaluation which aims to benefit society and the individual's own learning.

Keywords : programming of conditions to development of behaviors; ethics; programming learning; behaviors-goal; Radical Behaviorism.
