Positive Discipline 1 - Praise in the Classroom

Effective and harmful praise

It might be thought that ‘positive discipline’ means praising children a lot. Teachers often say things like ‘ Well done!’ or ‘You’re a good girl!’ to children and assume it will have a positive effect. Although praising children in this way may make both the teacher and the children feel good and although it may make the children more compliant, this is often at the expense of the children’s academic achievement, self-esteem, and motivation to challenge new things.

This video looks at the effectiveness of different types of praise and other issues related to praising children.

I should point out that this video is based on research on praising children. Research on praising college students seems to lead to very different conclusions.

There will be three videos in this series:
