Using Effective Praise to Produce Positive Results in the Classroom.

Wilson-Saddler, Danielle

Teaching and Change, v4 n4 p338-57 Sum 1997

By evaluating her use and delivery of praise, an elementary teacher discovered that its quality, not quantity, had the most impact on students. Teachers can increase the positive effects of praise by praising sparingly but carefully, directing it to students who respond well to it, and ensuring contingency, specificity, and credibility.
