Chapter3

Providing Recognition
//"As an instructional strategy, providing recognition means giving students rewards or praise for accomplishments related to the attainment of a goal."// (p.59)

Generalizations from McREL's Research:
1. Rewards do not necessarily have a negative effect on intrinisic motivation. 2. Reward is most effective when it is contingent on the attainment of some standard of performance. 3. Abstract symbolic recognition (e.g., praise) is more effective than tangible rewards (e.g., candy, money). (p.59)
