In Setting
Acknowledge & Recognize
Acknowledging SW
Expectations: Rationale
• To learn, humans require regular &
frequent feedback on their actions
• Humans experience frequent feedback
from others, self, & environment
– Planned/unplanned
– Desirable/undesirable
• W/o formal feedback to encourage
desired behavior, other forms of
feedback shape undesired behaviors
Are “Rewards” Dangerous?
“…our research team has conducted a series
of reviews and analysis of (the reward)
literature; our conclusion is that there is no
inherent negative property of reward. Our
analyses indicate that the argument against
the use of rewards is an overgeneralization
based on a narrow set of circumstances.”
– Cameron, 2002
• Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002
• Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001
Reinforcement Wisdom!
• “Knowing” or saying “know” does
NOT mean “will do”
• Students “do more” when “doing
works”…appropriate & inappropriate!
• Natural consequences are varied,
unpredictable, undependable,…not
always preventive
