Reinforcing Effort & Providing Feedback
Summary of Research of Reinforcing Effort
People generally attribute success at any given task to one of four causes: ability, effort, other people and luck.
Not all students realize the importance of believing in effort.
Students can learn to change their beliefs to an emphasis on effort.
Classroom Practice in Reinforcing Effort
Teach and exemplify the connection between effort and achievement.
Students can see the connection between their effort and achievement by periodically keeping track of their effort and its relationship to achievment.

Summary of Research on Providing Feedback
- Rewards do not necessarily have a negative effect on intrinsic motivation.
- Reward is most effective when it is contingent on some standard of performance.
- Abstract symbolic representation is more effective than tangible rewards.
- Make the recognition as personal to the student as possible.
- The Pause, Prompt and Praise strategy of providing recognition is best used when students are engaged in a particularly demanding task.
- Concrete, symbolic tokens of recognition should be given for accomplishing specific performance goals.
