How Do Extrinsic Rewards When Delivered Appropriately Work To Create A Positive Environment
Introduction
1) Extrinsic rewards when delivered appropriately work to create a positive environment.
Extrinsic rewards such as stickers and stamps can help to create a positive environment, in two ways in the classroom. However care needs to be taken to deliver them in a particular way. Firstly rewards will increase positive behaviour when they are delivered in recognition that something has been achieved or effort has been made, and are paired with an autonomy supporting statement (Deci, Ryan & Williams, 1986)(Chance, 1996).

In Grade 6 students are developing the self-directed study skills that will carry them through high school, university and later life. Research shows that behavior modification plans that rely on contingency rewards will not help with the development of these study skills. Contingency rewards are those that are not given for effort or achievement and without any accompanying feedback or informational praise. These types of rewards actually reduce the intrinsic motivation required to study alone without adult supervision. In addition they place the ‘locus of control’ firmly with the teacher, just at a time when students are developing their sense of autonomy. Children who have been controlled may react in one of two ways. They may actually give up their autonomy and become too reliant on being told what to do, or they may be provoked into rebellion (Clifford & Edwards, 2008). Neither outcome will effect their learning positively and far outweigh the small benefits of them having completed ten minutes of homework each

Mr. Byrne could use positive reinforcement instead of just scolding the students. “Reinforcement training, where the animal performs the correct behavior in order to escape or avoid something it does not like,” (Laule 2). Mr. Byrne could give the students practice quizzes containing information on the tests as a positive punishment.

By emphasising positive behaviour in the classroom and explaining why, e.g. “look at child X, who is listening well, as they always do”, we are encouraging this behaviour, as we recognise and praise the child for behaving well. This can then improve the behaviour of other children as it is promoting a positive role

If you consequate, you must educate. (Knoff, 2015) For this purpose, we can use the first couple days of the school years, maybe even one whole week, in order to teach the Behavior Matrix to the students.

Pros And Cons Of Cooperative Learning
948 Words | 4 PagesThe motivational critique of traditional classroom organisation holds that the competitive grading and informal reward system of the classroom creates peer norms opposing academic efforts (Coleman, 1961). Since one student's success decreases the chances that others will succeed, students are likely to prompt norms that high achievement is for "nerds" or teachers' pets. Such work restriction norms are familiar in industry, where the "rate buster" is scorned by his or her fellow workers (Vroom, 1969). However, by having students work together toward a common goal, they may be motivated to express norms favouring academic achievement, to reinforce each other for academic efforts. Thus, motivational theorists build group rewards into their co-operative learning methods.
