No it does not. A community of learners is when a teacher and students work together actively to learn. Mr. Kessinger is not helping the students learn. Instead, he is creating an environment in which the students are scared. Even though Robin took notes and created a map that helped her learn, he chose to not look at it that way, instead, he saw it as cheating.
2. Does Mr. Kessinger utilize presentation punishment or removal punishment with Robin? Justify your response.
Removal punishment. Robin obviously learns from her concept maps and enjoys doing them because she did one for her other class. Mr Kessinger told her that her map was a form of cheating, thereore taking away something she didn't want to lose.3. Explain Robin's reaction in Ms. Yamashita's class from the perspective of classical conditioning.
Robin has just been punished for her concept map in Mr. Kessinger's class, and now she was being rewarded for a concept map in Ms. Yamashita's class. She was confused at what to do because both teachers had different opinions.
4. How might Ms. Yamashita encourage Robin to create concept maps in the future? Include behavioral concepts such as shaping, reinforcement, etc., in your response.
I believe her idea to make copies of Robin's concept map for the rest of the class was a good start. Also, by encouraging the class and reinfocing Robin to keep up with the concept maps consistently, so she knows that they are a good thing, especially if they help her learn.
Your response to #3 doesn't demonstrate classical conditioning.
