This theoretical nature essay, revisits concepts formulated by outstanding researchers linked to behavioral studies: Ivan Pavlov, John Watson and Burrhus Frederic Skinner. Transiting through the behavior based on scientific and philosophical studies. Furthermore, we especially enter into the relationship between behavior and education. Studying such authors, we reflect on the appropriations and the transferences that were made between what was produced in the behaviorist field and what was experienced as a behaviorist approach in education. The essay presents how the theoretical production about behavior generates justification for the technicist tendency, which has experienced its climax in Brazilian territory in the 1960s and 1970s. Although the educational purposes experienced at that time, the essay presents the contributions of the authors cited and of what was produced and continues to produce ways of knowing the human, their interactions and actions in and with the world.
