Stars and stickers. should elementary school children receive material rewards for performance and cooperation? imagine that you are a parent and that you have a child in the first grade. you have received a notice from the principal of the school that a program of tangible rewards (buttons, stickers, stars, bags of popcorn, cookies) is being considered. the notice compares tangible rewards for the children with the pay adults get for work. from what we know about behaviorism, is this a good idea? explain why the extensive use of tangible rewards may backfire in this situation.

    They should, humans as a whole preform better when given a material object. Personally, I feel it is a good idea, grades would greatly improve as the student would be determined to get said prize. There is the possible chance of a backfire, as maybe the student will start to expect a reward for everything they do. Though, I feel the use of tangible rewards, especially those of food or toys, would greatly improve overall academics.

    No, I think that behaviorism is not the best option to educate children. It is better to try to teach people the importance to study and do the things for love and self-realization.

    If children don't receive buttons or stickers, they will feel frustrated and could stop doing academic things.
