Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, - TopicsExpress



          

Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, As, Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn, an advocate for unconditional parenting and progressive education, is a landmark text from 1999. Check out this video with Alfie on the Oprah Winfrey show for more information. Here is the blurb from Kohns book: The basic strategy we use for raising children, teaching students, and managing workers can be summarized in six words: Do this and youll get that. We dangle goodies (from candy bars to sales commissions) in front of people in much the same way we train the family pet. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research, Alfie Kohn points the way to a more successful strategy based on working with people instead of doing things to them. Do rewards motivate people? asks Kohn. Yes. They motivate people to get rewards. Seasoned with humor and familiar examples, Punished By Rewards presents an argument unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss. youtu.be/_6wwReKUYmw
