Learning to Be a Learner: The Role of Praise.
Makin, Laurie
Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v20 n3 p21-26 Sep 1995
Examines praise as one of the ways children learn how to play an appropriate role in the school environment. Presents an analysis of praise during group discussion in four child-care centers. Suggests that in all four centers, children were being schooled in passivity rather than being encouraged to be active problem solvers and knowledge seekers. (AA)
