Mr Cardot Has Been Using a Behavioural Approach to Motivation

question 79

Essay

Mr. Cardot has been using a behavioural approach to motivation in his second-grade classroom. He gives stickers for completing assignments, for answering questions correctly, and for other things such as working quietly. He recently noticed that none of his students could answer questions about the setting of a story, but he had taught lessons about the setting and discussed the settings of several stories. Students had eagerly answered questions and received stickers. Now that he is revisiting the topic, his students don't remember what they learned. Suggest how Mr. Cardot might alter his approach and achieve integrated regulation.
