In the realm of educational psychology, B.F. Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning stands as a cornerstone for understanding behavior and learning. Skinner's principles, which emphasize the role of reinforcement and punishment in shaping behavior, have profound implications for instructional design. When applied to microlearning, these principles can significantly enhance learner engagement, motivation, and retention. This article delves into Skinner’s operant conditioning theory and explores how it can be effectively integrated into microlearning to optimize training outcomes.

Skinner, is a learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reinforcement or punishment. Key concepts in Skinner’s theory include: Reinforcement : Any event that strengthens or increases the likelihood of a behavior.
