Stickers as Reinforcement Sticker Reinforcement can be implemented in several different ways. (1) A single sticker can put added to a paper with a good grade. This will make the child feel as though they accomplished something special, and will achieve for the same reward again. LaShonna Machmer

Stickers as Reinforcement cont. (2) A sticker chart may be used to set goals for the child. The chart should only be used for positive reinforcement (therefore, no stickers should be taken away). Once the goal is met (so many stickers are achieved), an additional reward should be given to the student. As B.F. Skinner stated, the child will develop positive behavior based upon the positive reinforcement and rewards. LaShonna Machmer

Free Time as Reinforcement Using free time as a form of positive reinforcement is one of the most successful ways to curve bad behavior in the classroom (especially with exceptional education students). It’s best to set a goal for students and if they can successfully achieve that goal, their reward will be in free time. Although structure in the classroom is essential with free time, students enjoy having the ability to choose how they are spending their time. LaShonna Machmer

Free time is a great opportunity for classmates to interact and get to know each other better. This would apply to B.F. Skinner’s operant learning theory, because the children are achieving in the classroom due to the reward of free time. LaShonna Machmer

Positive Reinforcement in Computer Based Programs Computer programs that promote positive reinforcement include elements such as  Drill  Practice  Tutorials  Simulations Specific Programs include: ClickN Kids Disney Interactive JumpStart Reader Rabbit Gcompris Samantha Boesch

When Desired Behavior is Not Met There are a few options: Negative Reinforcement: increases the probability of a response that removes or prevents an adverse condition. Example: obtaining a score of 80% or higher makes the final exam Optional Punishment: presents a strong stimulus that decreases the frequency of a particular response Example: late assignments are given a grade of zero.
