Behavioural psychologists
1.Learners need grades, gold stars, and other incentives as motivation to learn and to accomplish school requirements.
2.Students should be graded according to uniform standards of achievement which the teacher sets for the class.
3.Curriculum should be organized along subject matter lines that are carefully sequenced.
Cognitive psychologists
1.Teachers need to determine what students are thinking about while solving math problems.
2.The teacher should help students to monitor and control their own learning behaviour.
Humanistic psychologists
1. Learners can be trusted to find their own goals and should have some options or choices in what they learn at school.
2. Students should set their own individual standards and should evaluate their own work.
3. The school experience should help students to develop positive relations with their peers
