Punished by Rewards?
Brandt, Ron
Educational Leadership, v53 n1 p13-16 Sep 1995
The author of "Punished by Rewards" (1993), claims that rewards and punishments serve to manipulate behavior and destroy the potential for real learning. Praise is especially tricky, since intangible rewards can also foster compliance, not motivation. An engaging curriculum and a caring atmosphere encourage kids to exercise their natural curiosity.
