There are four
main practices used to praise and support children:
1. Verbal -
Positive comments, award assemblies.
2. Non-verbal -
thumbs up, sign language and smiling.
3. Symbolic -
Stars or smiley faces.
4. Written - award
certificates, positive written comments.
How do you manage
a child experiencing failure and disappointment who rejects your efforts at
praising them for taking part? How do you get that right balance when using praise to ensure that, a child doesn't get uninspired
from hearing the same thing constantly? These questions will be hopefully
answered when I carry out my professional inquiry. Thanks for reading.
Great to see your work Marc. So children's experience and perception of failure when they are learning? Would they be learning performance? learning in primary or secondary? Can you put a context to your inquiry?
