Behaviorisme Theory Reflection
I remembered my experience studied in semi military high school (Taruna Nusantara High School, TN) when read about behaviorism theory. TN is a well known boarding senior high school in Indonesia. The school gains reputation from its strong emphasis on national values and military-like disciplines, in addition to exceptional academic and leadership achievements. During the first period of schooling, I was ‘forced’ to live independently and to take off my dependence with families by staying in the dorms and not allowed to make any contact with outside parties. I was very young during that time, doing things and governing myself independently was very hard in the first time. The regulations and practices applied in school were really shocked me. Sometimes I was wondering if I can survive and get used to it. Now, fifteen years have been passed since the event. I think, that was the most precious experience ever had. Like or not, that event is one of my important experiences that carved my personality and in overall, changed my life. I have been taught to become more confident and independent and that helps me in personal and professional life.
