According to the article “Extrinsic Reinforcement in the Classroom: Bribery or Best Practice” the debate over the use of extrinsic reinforcement in classrooms has been going on for over 30 years. And even some theorist have caution about the use of reward even though some others have found little to any detrimental effect about it. Extrinsic reinforcement is one of the type of positive reinforcement the other type being intrinsic reinforcement. According to Akin-Little “A review of several educational psychology books (Slavin, 1997; Woolfolk, 2004) reveals a more balanced view of the effects of rewards by including the findings of Cameron and Pierce (1994), along with Deci and Ryan (1985) and Lepper et al. (1973). This is an encouraging sign

Akin-Little asked the same question Maag asked in the article “Rewarded by Punishment: Reflections on the Disuse of Positive Reinforcement in Schools” about why education careers don’t encourage the understanding and the practice of reinforcement in their curriculum to be use at school more. But according to Cameron in the article “Reinforcement, reward, and Intrinsic Motivation: A Meta-Analysis” the reinforcement theory has had an impact on education, that education professors teach the basic elements of it, due to this is that most teachers have a least a basic understanding of the principles of reinforcement to apply in their way of teaching. The principles of reinforcement being to help the students learn and be motivated to do better and change their behavior to a more positive one in classroom and outside of it (Cameron, …show more content…
Adamson states that Gongola and Daddario (2010) explained that in order for positive reinforcement to be apply effectively, a behavior has to be identify as the target behavior. To do this a teacher must first figure why the problem behavior is occurring and about the behavior itself. According to the article “Understanding Positive Reinforcement and Replacement Behaviors Within the Classroom” by Adamson (2015) positive reinforcement can be applied following seven simple steps, the steps being “Identify the problem behavior and times where it is most likely to occur. Determine why the problem behaviors exist. Expected/replacement behavior. Note what type, how often, and when positive reinforcement will be given to the student. Teach and demonstrate the new expected/replacement behavior to the student. Immediately reinforce! Fading and generalization procedures in Your identified environments”. Positive reinforcement can be easily applied and can be applied to many different circumstances, research have indicated that problem behavior has decrease when positive reinforcement was immediate upon the behavior (Adamson, 2015). But according to the article “Use of Reinforcement in Behavior Management Strategies”
