An Analysis of General Education Teachers' Use of Diverse Praise
Floress, Margaret T.; Beschta, Shelby L.
Psychology in the Schools, v55 n10 p1188-1204 Dec 2018
The current study examined teachers' use of diverse praise or the extent to which teachers used a variety of praise as opposed to using the same praise repeatedly. Verbatim general and behavior-specific praise data were analyzed from a larger study where 5,721 min of direct observation were collected across 28 kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms. On average, teachers used 3.7 total diverse praise categories per observation. Teachers also used more general, diverse praise categories per observation per hour compared with behavior-specific, diverse praise categories. Although results did not indicate statistically significant differences in the amount of diverse praise between early elementary school teachers and later elementary teachers, a clear pattern of diminishing diverse praise was observed such that later elementary teachers provided less diverse praise per observation per hour.
